Contents:

Not going it alone: friendship and community in the Christian moral life -- Facing shipwreck and bandits: virtues and the quest for happiness -- Finding a story worth handing on: narrative and the moral life -- Every person's truth: made in the image of God, called to do the work of God -- Freedom: exploring a dangerous topic -- False steps on the path to happiness: losing our way and finding it back -- Doing what the good requires: conscience and prudence in the moral life -- The gift that makes all gifts possible: learning the language of love -- Reimagining the world: why the happiness of one demands justice for all.

Subject: Happiness and the Christian Moral Life introduces students to Christian Ethics looking at ethics as a path to the "good life" and happiness, rather than a strict set of rules or regulations. Revised and updated throughout, the second edition maintains the book's distinctive focus on happiness. Each chapter now features a list of suggested readings to point students and instructors towards further resources. Other changes to the second edition include a more fully developed account of Augustine's understanding of happiness, new discussions of how technology shapes relationships and happiness, and consideration of the relationship between the natural law and the virtues.--Publishers.
