Esta obra se pueden encontrar, tanto en alemán, como en las traducciones a diversos idiomas, en libros separados sobre cada virtud, o en un solo volumen. En conjunto presentan una explicación muy sugerente de los aspectos principales de las virtudes teologales y morales, y abre horizontes ayudando a descubrir la profundidad y coherencia de la vida cristiana. Sigue a Santo Tomás, aunque a veces con interpretaciones personales no compartidas por otros buenos autores tomistas. Lectura muy útil para personas con cierta formación. Estilo ágil.
