Virtue Reborn
What am I here for? How should I behave? Most Christians, faced with those questions, think in terms either of 'rules' or of 'living authentically' Both lead to problems. In this book, full of fresh biblical exploration, Bishop Tom Wright proposes instead that we inhabit the ancient tradition of virtue once again - but from a thoroughly Christian, not just a philosophical, perspective. The virtues are the strengths we need to get to our goal. Following on from his popular best-selling books Simply Christian and Surprised by Hope, he sees the goal in terms of the whole new creation, with humans renewed to look after it.

Über den Autor
Tom Wright was educated in the public schools of Lynchburg, Virginia. A true patriot, he received a bronze star in Vietnam, and after three years in the military, married the former Phoebe Murphy. They have three sons. Tom received his BS from Liberty University at age thirty and his MAR at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary twenty years later. Tom did his doctoral work in Biblical Studies. He was licensed and commissioned as a prison chaplain in 1998 by Timberlake Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Virginia. He, along with a great volunteer staff, manages one of the largest prison ministries in Virginia that focuses entirely on 'incarcerated veterans.' From speaking in churches and civic organizations to writing articles for the local newspaper, Tom doesn't fail to keep himself busy. He specializes in teaching biblical principles and accountability--characteristics that are lacking in America today. He still makes himself available to speak for conferences, revivals, and various other groups, and he can be reached at: chaplainwright@yahoo.com.
