The development of character and virtue in Christian formation is of undisputable importance and yet this area is overdue for specific resources as to how this is done.
In this companion workbook to Character and Virtue in Theological Education, Marvin Oxenham seeks to equip those who intentionally pursue these traits through an informed scholarly approach. Following a twenty-four-week programme, participants will find instruction, targeted application, Bible studies, prayer guidelines and practical activities that are aimed to nurture slow, incremental growth in character. Applicable in a wide range of contexts and across faith traditions, this workbook is well suited for both groups and individuals who wish to engage in the development of character and virtue in Christian formation. An invaluable tool for those who desire to "be" like Jesus.
