Called into Character: Aesthetic and Ascetic Aspects of Biblical Ethics

Abstract

This essay examines two different ways that scholars influenced by virtue ethics have seen the relationship between the reader of the biblical text and the characters in that text. After looking at how these approaches are grounded in the biblical text itself, I argue that both play an important role in the reader's character formation and moral development.
