$27.99In this book Stanley Hauerwas explores the significance of eschatological reflection for helping the church negotiate the contemporary world.
In Part One, “Theological Matters,” Hauerwas directly addresses his understanding of the eschatological character of the Christian faith.

In so doing, he challenges liberal notions of justice and freedom.
