Dogara Ishaya Manomi analyzes and identifies the characteristics of (neo-)Aristotelian virtue ethics that are implicitly and explicitly embedded in the linguistic elements theological motifs and ethical norms in the letter to Titus. He argues that (neo-)Aristotelian virtue ethics and the ethical perspectives of Titus share the following features: a sense of a moral telos that leads to human flourishing emphasis on character habits and inner dispositions focus on the morality of persons more than the morality of actions commitment to moral perfectionism particularity of moral agents the concept of moral exemplar a concern for character development through training or moral education and a consideration of the moral significance of community. The author concludes therefore that there is a significant correlation between (neo-)Aristotelian virtues ethics and the ethical perspectives of the letter to Titus to the extent that the letter to Titus can be described as a virtue-ethical text. Moreover his research concludes that the virtue-ethical perspectives of Titus in comparison with African ethics have foundational and narrative differences yet they share some important similarities. However through progressive hermeneutical negotiations concessions appropriations and application between the two virtue-ethical perspectives there emerges a new virtue-ethical horizon described as African Biblical Virtue Ethics which is as accountable as possible faithful to the virtue-ethical perspectives of Titus and at home to African Christian ethics. This study was awarded the prestigious Johannes Gutenberg Dissertation Prize.
