Description
"Stanley Hauerwas is a distinctive and controversial theologian. His work demands attention in every debate on theological ethics today. His project is to transform Christian ethics from the fate of the individual in crisis to the destiny of the Church in its faithfulness." "In this critical evaluation of Hauerwas' work, Samuel Wells sets out the drama and debate of Hauerwas' new agenda. He agrees that the Christian story is at the heart of the Church's practice. Yet he goes beyond Hauerwas. show more He draws attention to the neglect, in narrative ethics, of the way the Church's story ends. For Christians finally see their lives in the context, not of blind fate, but of divine destiny."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
