In The Call to Happiness, Nathaniel A. Warne examines how sixteenth-and seventeenth-century Puritans adopted a eudaimonistic conception of ethics in their writings. He shows how classical eudaimonism within the Puritan context is related to other areas of theology, ethics, and politics, and that the idea of divine calling or vocation fits within Puritan eudaimonism. Warne further shows how work can also be understood as an aspect of human flourishing when illuminated from within this tradition of Christian eudaimonism alongside the doctrine of calling.
Nathaniel A. Warne (PhD, Durham University, UK) is a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Notre Dame in the Center for Social Concerns and also ministers in the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana.
