Virtue, Relationality, and the Self
Recent scholarship in religious ethics signals the importance of considering how the virtues are pursued and embodied in everyday human lives and practices, as well as attending to experiences of virtue that have previously been overlooked. This essay argues that experiences of love in autistic persons can enrich our understanding of the nature and scope of virtuous love as understood in the Christian tradition. In making this argument, I develop…
“Misfitting” and Friendship in the Virtuous Life
The self-reported experiences of autistic individuals invite ways of thinking about moral character and moral formation that challenge Christians to rethink a number of traditional claims regarding the virtues. This paper argues that attention to autism requires rethinking accounts of growth in virtue that depend on normative views of social interactions such as friendship. Drawing on scholarship in disability studies and testimony from autistic …
Conceiving Autistic Moral Agency

I argue that the recent work of Brian Brock and Grant Macaskill provides a starting point for developing an account of autistic moral agency as experienced both through maximizing individual capacities for personal responsibility and through participating in meaningful …

Bricolage and the Purity of Traditions
This essay is a response to C. Kavin Rowe's critique of my 2011 argument that certain dimensions of Roman Stoic ethics are at work in Jonathan Edwards's moral thought. Rowe raises questions about the act of selectively retrieving ideas from a philosophical tradition to support constructive work in another tradition. I argue for the importance of acknowledging how Christian thought has been shaped by what Jeffrey Stout describes as moral bricolage…
Consent, Conversion, and Moral Formation
The contemporary revival of virtue ethics has focused primarily on retrieving central moral commitments of Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, and the Neoplatonist traditions. Christian virtue ethicists would do well to expand this retrieval further to include the writings of the Roman Stoics. This essay argues that the ethics of Jonathan Edwards exemplifies major Stoic themes and explores three noteworthy points of intersection between Stoic ethics and E…
