Selected by Christianity Today as one of the 100 most important books on religion of the twentieth century.
Leading theological ethicist Stanley Hauerwas shows how discussions of Christology and the authority of scripture involve questions about what kind of community the church must be to rightly tell the stories of God. He challenges the dominant assumption of contemporary Christian social ethics that there is a special relation between Christianity and some form of liberal democratic social system.
"Hauerwas's latest collection of essays represents a significant, if controversial, contribution to Christian ethics.... One cannot work through this volume without being provoked, challenged and finally enlightened." —America
Stanley Hauerwas is Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological Ethics at Duke University. He is the author of numerous books, including Christians among the Virtues, In Good Company, Suffering Presence, and Character and the Christian Life, all published by the University of Notre Dame Press.
