Description
Reviews
The Anglican Theological Review "Invites readers into an interesting conversation, yet they will find themselves wanting to give Hauerwas their ear, to listen to the story (apologia) he is telling. Hauerwas thus achieves his aim to "attract" others to join him in the work of theology." Commonweal "Stanley Hauerwas has achieved singular preeminence among theologians in the United States as a public intellectual. . . . Any new book bearing Hauerwas's name is noteworthy." The Christian Century "The church needs Hauerwas's prophetic witness. His theology is courageous, challenging, and a source of hope when many ecclesial leaders seem to be despairing." Library Journal "It is hard to imagine any living theologian more celebrated than Hauerwas." Samuel Wells "Stanley Hauerwas writes unputdownable theology -- because he believes in a God who will never put us down until it's clear how our story comes out."
