This panel considers a broad range of figures from the Christian tradition who employ virtue-ethics in order to conceptualize the mechanics of God’s gracious activity to reconcile humanity to Godself. These papers will be inter-disciplinary, collectively drawing on conversations in analytical moral philosophy on the topics of human action, perfection, virtue, and value in concert with Christian theology. Importantly, at least half of the papers will consider Protestant figures who employ virtue-ethics in their accounts of God’s redemptive work or its effects in human creatures.
