Common Callings and Ordinary Virtues

Every day we do commonplace things and interact with ordinary people without giving them much thought. This volume offers a theological guide to thinking Christianly about the ordinary nature of everyday life. Leading ethicist Brent Waters shows that the activities and relationships we think of as mundane are actually expressions of love of neighbor that are vitally important to our wellbeing. We live out the Christian gospel in the contexts that define us and in the routine chores practices activities and social settings that give ordinary life meaning. It is in those contexts that we discover what we were created for to be and to become.
