By Fr. Basil Cole, OP · Published by TAN Books
Overview
This work draws on St Thomas Aquinas’s teaching to show how the Christian life is formed by cultivating virtue and overcoming vice so that the faithful may pursue heaven with clarity of purpose and moral strength. Grounded in Sacred Scripture and the Church’s moral tradition, it outlines virtues and their opposing vices so that readers can discern and reject what leads to sin while embracing the path of grace and holiness.
