Living a morally good life today is a challenge. But we become fully and authentically human precisely by the decisions we make every daysome of them relatively simple, others complex and difficult. Once a choice is made, we still must claim the moral resolve and strength of character to implement it. Virtues are precisely the sustained habits that help us maneuver lifes many choices and to become the good people that we want to be. St. Thomas Aquinas offers the classic Christian presentation of the four principal virtues of prudence, justice, courage, and temperance. But these are precisely cardinal or hinge virtues that provide the foundational framework for Aquinass much broader presentation of a multitude of other virtues. Neglect of this larger array of moral attitudes for good living would miss the breadth of Aquinass insights into a human life truly well-lived. Virtues Abounding explores, in contemporary language, the practical insights that Aquinas offers for the moral life today. Whether in university, seminary, or adult faith formation settingswhether for a deeper intellectual understanding of virtues or for personal reflection and growthVirtues Abounding will provide new insight into a classic but too often overlooked storehouse of moral riches.
