Senior Staff Reading Group: “The Pursuit of Character” with Matthew Arbo
Matthew Arbo12:00pm – 1:00pm
- This event is by invitation only.
Join us as we hear from author Matthew Arbo about his latest book, “The Pursuit of Character: Recovering the Virtues.”
In today’s fragmented world, we are encouraged to define for ourselves what is good. But this inevitably fails to satisfy. In The Pursuit of Character, Matthew Arbo argues that we can learn how to live a good life by recovering the virtues that have guided Christians before us. Arbo reintroduces readers to the seven cardinal and theological virtues of prudence, temperance, fortitude, justice, faith, hope, and love. Readers will know what each virtue means (and doesn’t mean) and how to go about acquiring it. Pursuing virtue is good in itself, and by becoming virtuous we enrich our lives and those around us.
Matthew Arbo (PhD, University of Edinburgh) is Senior Advisor to Senator James Lankfod (R-OK).
