 Towards a Lutheran virtue ethics 
Joel D. Biermann. 
 - vii, 204 pages :  illustration ;  23 cm 
<br/><br/>Includes bibliographical references and index. 
<br/><br/>1. Virtue ethics and the challenge of Hauerwas -- 2. Contemporary Lutheran voices -- 3. The Lutheran confessions -- 4. The search for a paradigm : some Lutheran efforts -- 5. A creedal framework : a proposal for the reclamation of ethics within Lutheranism -- 6. An ethic for the church : the place of character formation. 
<br/><br/> A Case for Character explores this problem and argues that Christian doctrine, specifically as articulated within a Lutheran framework, is altogether capable of encouraging a robust pursuit of character formation while maintaining a faithful expression of justification by grace alone through faith alone.--Provided by publisher
