Abstract
The Introduction presents the purpose and aim of the study, and describes its structure and content (under the heading ‘The Purpose and Aim of the Study’). It is explained exactly what is addressed in the study and what is not: the study addresses the Synoptic Gospels’ characterization of Jesus, but not that of the Gospel of John; it addresses the characterization of Jesus as it is presented in the Synoptic Gospels, but it is not concerned with the so-called historical Jesus (‘What Is Addressed and What Is Not? Jesus of the Gospels and the Historical Jesus’). Finally, the chapter describes classical virtue theory and explains how it relates to the subject under discussion (‘Moral Character, Classical Virtue Theory, and Early Christianity’).
