Media Reviews
'Stanley Hauerwas' provocative, disturbing, yet mischievous perspective on Christian ethics has lent itself to caricature, and produced both disciples and humourless criticism. These thoughtful and constructive essays take engagement with Hauerwas to a new level of maturity. Sympathetically and critically, they think with him rather than in imitation or opposition.'
Professor Iain Torrance, University of Aberdeen
'Stanley Hauerwas is famous for telling his students that he doesn't want them to think for themselves, but like him. But what is striking in these essays mostly by British admirers is how much space the distinctive manner of reflection allows for them to pursue their own questions. Is there any help to be had from this most American of all theological critics for thinking about spirituality in the National Health Service, women carers in North East England, regenerating housing estates in Norwich, theology in the European University? On the evidence of this collection: plenty.'
Revd Professor Oliver O'Donovan, Christ Church, Oxford
The high quality of these essays make this volume an important companion to the published [Gifford] lectures. Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduates through faculty and researchers.
