=== Theological virtues of faith, hope and love ===

A summary of William E. Mann's work ''Theological [[Virtue]]s'' indicates:
{{Cquote|The three theological virtues of [[faith]], [[hope]] and [[love]], referred to frequently by the apostle Paul in his letters, play an indispensable role in Christian theorizing about a person’s duties with respect to God. [[Thomas Aquinas]] is responsible for the most thorough and influential philosophical theory of the theological virtues. According to him, faith, hope and love are virtues because they are dispositions whose possession enables a person to act well to achieve a good thing – in this case, the ultimate good of salvation and beatitude. Without them, people would have neither the awareness of nor the will to strive for [[salvation]]. Despite the fact that they are infused in persons by God’s grace, one can wilfully and culpably fail to let them develop.<ref>[https://www.rep.routledge.com/articles/thematic/theological-virtues/v-1#:~:text=9780415249126%2DK101%2D1-,Article%20Summary,duties%20with%20respect%20to%20God.
