Classical Virtues for Christian Formation
BY JOSEPH LANIER, TRAVIS JAMES MONTGOMERY

Balancing depth and breadth, this book will provide a robust biblical, theological, and historical discussion on the role of the seven virtues (faith, hope, love, justice, prudence, temperance, and fortitude) in Christian formation from a uniquely evangelical perspective. Lanier and Montgomery are able guides for their readers who seek to be formed by “every good and perfect gift” from God the Father above (James 1:17).
