Common Callings and Ordinary Virtues

Every day we do commonplace things and interact with ordinary people without giving these activities and interactions much thought. This volume offers a theological guide to thinking Christianly about the nature of ordinary, everyday life. Ethicist Brent Waters shows that when we engage them faithfully, our mundane activities and relationships are actually vitally important expressions of love for neighbors, friends, spouses, parents, children, strangers, and fellow citizens. 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, what we were made to be and to become.
