Sermons from one of the country’s best-known theologians.
Stanley Hauerwas was named “Best Theologian” by Time magazine in 2001. His writings are controversial and well-read, including Hannah’s Child, a memoir that ends about the time he became an Episcopalian. This collection includes 17 sermons, from “Saints” and “Letting Go,” to “Recognizing Jesus/Seeing Salvation” and “Clothe Your Ministers in Righteousness.” There are two bonus presentations on “Leadership” and “An Open Letter to Christians Beginning College” in the appendix.
“Unfailingly fresh, rich and nourishing as the rest of his work.”
—Rowan Williams, 104th Archbishop of Canterbury and Master, Magdalene College at Cambridge University
“Lay people, you will relish this banquet—and preachers, you can study at the feet of a master.”
—Fleming Rutledge, author of Not Ashamed of the Gospel and The Undoing of Death
“Here is Hauer testifying to the church, clearly, joyfully restoring the adventure of being Christian.
—Will Willimon, Bishop of the United Methodist Church (ret.) and Professor of the Practice of Christian Ministry, Duke University
“Hauerwas offers what many Christians long for and never find: practical reflection on what it is to live and think as a Christian.”
—Ellen F. Davis, Amos Ragan Kearns Distinguished Professor of Bible and Practical Theology, Duke Divinity School
