Rebecca DeYoung (Ph.D. University of Notre Dame) has enjoyed teaching ethics and the history of ancient and medieval philosophy at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, MI, for over 20 years. Her research focuses on the seven deadly sins, virtue ethics and spiritual formation, and Thomas Aquinas’s work on the virtues. Her books include Glittering Vices (Brazos, 2009; 2nd edition 2020), Vainglory (Eerdmans, 2014), and a co-authored volume entitled Aquinas’s Ethics (University of Notre Dame Press, 2009). Recent essays about various vices and virtues—hope, despair, sloth, courage, magnanimity, wrath, and vainglory—appear in Virtues and Their Vices (Oxford), Being Good (Eerdmans), and Cambridge Critical Guide to Aquinas’s De Malo (Cambridge), and the journals Res Philosophica, ACPQ, the Thomist, and Faith and Philosophy. Awards for her work include the Book and Essay Prize from the Character Project and the C.S. Lewis prize for Glittering Vices. Dr. DeYoung speaks widely--at universities, churches and spiritual formation groups, and in prison education programs. She and her husband live in Grand Rapids, near the beautiful Lake Michigan shoreline, with their four children.
