New Book

Can the modern world still
learn from the now
unfashionable language of
virtue?

In a new book Dr. David B.
Harned, professor of religious
studies at the University of
Virginia, argues that the
language of the seven virtues
must not be ignored in man's
effort to discover what
"humanness" means.

His book, "Faith and
Virtue," has just been
published by the United
Church Press.

In a world which has lost its
sense that there is more to
reality than the present
moment and higher values than
relevance to the contemporary
scene, virtue is the best that
man can do for himself, Dr.
Harned says.
