Introducing Moral Theology: True Happiness and the Virtues ReviewI accidently discovered this book and am so pleased to see an introductory text on moral theology that focuses on the role of happiness and the use of virtue theory as a way to welcome beginning students to moral theology. Mattison carefully builds on the ideas of Aristotle and takes it through Aquinas to convincingly argue a strong case for a Christian ethics based on the cardinal and theological virtues. His explanations are clear and he defines important terms that build on his later arguments. Obviously written with the undergraduate student in mind, I would also recommend this book to lay and graduate readers who may want to taste virtue theory as a framework for moral theology. I was curious to see mention of Jean Porter's "Nature as Reason," but no mention of her first, excellent book "Recovery of Virtue," another wonderful introduction to Thomist virtue theory. I highly recommend this book to those moral theologians who want to include a concise discussion of virtue theory to their courses. If I taught a moral theology course, I'd certainly use this book along with Porter's first book to give students a complete picture of emerging thought in Christian ethics. Well done, Dr. Mattison.Introducing Moral Theology: True Happiness and the Virtues Overview
