THE 424 The Character Project

This course is an introduction to the theological ethics of character as encountered in the Christian tradition.  We will systematically consider the topic through a series of guided discussions about values, decisions, conscience, habits, virtues, and vices, the role of Christian narrative, and finally, an integrated theory and theology of Christian personal character.  Readings will include selections from writings by Richard Gula, Paul J. Waddell, The Catechism of the Catholic Church, James Keenan, Stanley Hauerwas, James Gustafson, and the Gospel of Luke.
