Session 8: Virtue in Action: The Royal Priesthood


Session 8: Virtue in Action: The Royal Priesthood (pp. 219-255)

1. According to Wright, what is the importance and purpose of worship? What does worship have to do with virtue?

2. What does Wright mean when he claims that Christians are meant to be “rulers”? What would it mean for us to take this “royal” Christian vocation seriously?

3. What do you think about the way Wright connects good works to Christian virtue? Have you thought of it this way before? Is it helpful or not?

4. How did Paul argue for a Christian form of the ancient pagan theory of virtue?

5. How are Christians meant to act as “angled mirrors”?

6. How do you respond to what Wright has to say about humility, patience, chastity and charity?
