A Community of Character: Toward a Constructive Christian Social Ethic

A Community of Character: Toward a Constructive Christian Social Ethic

by StanleyHauerwas (Author)

Synopsis

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.
