The idea of a « life in truth » can be exemplified in the framework of a theological ethics of virtue by underlining four « virtues of truth » : accuracy, sincerity, courage and prudence. These virtues of truth are taken as a manifestation of the sanctification of a humankind pardoned, as character-traits which are formed in God’s presence and which witness to a truth which sets free.
