Hauerwas : A Very Critical Introduction
$26.99Add to cartSharp, thoughtful critique of a highly respected theologian Stanley Hauerwas’s work is well known and much admired, but Nicholas Healy believes that it has not yet been subjected to the kind of sustained critical analysis that is appropriate for such a popular and controversial Christian thinker. In Hauerwas: A (Very) Critical Introduction Healy fills that critical gap.
After a general introduction to Hauerwas, Healy examines three main areas of Hauerwas’s thought: his method, his social theory, and his theology. Hauerwas’s overriding concern for ethics and church-based apologetics so dominates his thinking, says Healy, that he systematically distorts Christian doctrine and deemphasizes the triune God. Hauerwas’s project needs substantial revision, Healy argues, and he incisively illustrates how.
