- This book was the primary focus of the author's research 2014-19. It extends across several chapters to 272 pages. A first draft was given as the Wilde Lectures (Oxford, 2015). While the thematic structure was retained, the text was substantially re-worked thereafter. The book shows how Aquinas's notion of infused moral virtue, not much discussed in recent philosophy of religion, can be integrated into discussion of core issues in the discipline e.g. the concept of God and the nature/reasonableness of religious faith. It also broaches new questions e.g. how to relate the different vocabularies used to describe spiritual progression.
