S6 E14 | Dr. Grace Hamman | Ancient Paths, Modern Lives: Rediscovering Virtue and Wholeness

In this episode of the Alabaster Jar Podcast, Dr. Lynn Cohick and Dr. Grace Hamman discuss her new book, Ask of Old Paths: Medieval Virtues and Vices for a Whole and Holy Life. Together, they explore how medieval concepts of virtue and vice can offer fresh insight for modern spiritual formation, using vivid metaphors like the soul as a garden. They also delve into the difference between virtues and values, the importance of humility, and the universal call to cultivate character.Resources Mentioned:   The Visual Museum of Women in ChristianityAsk of Old Paths: Medieval Virtues and Vices for a Whole and Holy Life by Dr. Grace HammanJesus through Medieval Eyes: Beholding Christ with the Artists, Mystics, and Theologians of the Middle Ages by Dr. Grace Hamman   Webinar with Dr. Carmen Imes (Becoming God’s Family)The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer   Episode Sponsor:   The Alabaster Jar is brought to you by The Center for Women in Leadership, a newly formed 501©3 nonprofit organization whose purpose is to equip women in a context that is biblically rooted, theologically robust, and ethnically diverse to thrive as leaders in the academy, the marketplace, and the Church.
