What does the Bible mean when it warns against pride, envy, or lust? And what does it actually look like to be humble, patient, or pure? For centuries, Christians have organized the moral life around virtues and vices. These character traits are more than simple obedience or disobedience; rather, they reveal and shape the basic orientation of our hearts. It can be hard to make good decisions when we haven’t cultivated a godly character. Yet godly character comes from practice in Christian virtues. This class introduces the rich tradition of Christian virtue ethics by considering how disordered love corrupts character and how growing in biblical virtue reorders our love toward God and others.
