Stanley Hauerwas is een vooraanstaand figuur in de theologische ethiek, wiens werk de aard van het christelijk geloof en de implicaties ervan voor het sociale en politieke leven diepgaand onderzoekt. Zijn geschriften dagen conventionele opvattingen over geweld, oorlog en nationale identiteit regelmatig uit, en dringen er bij lezers op aan na te denken over hoe christelijke waarden het seculiere gedrag zouden moeten vormgeven. Hauerwas' onderscheidende stijl en theologische urgentie kenmerken hem als een denker die niet bang is om moeilijke vragen te stellen en radicale perspectieven te bieden. Zijn werk roept op tot een doordachte omarming van het christelijk engagement in een turbulente wereld.

V sedmi krátkých meditacích přistupuje autor k jádru velikonočního tajemství: "Jak je to zvláštní, že naše životy byly vykoupeny - doslova umožněny - životem, smrtí a zmrtvýchvstáním Ježíše Krista". Knížka přináší řadu pohledů na evangelijní výpovědi, které svou strohostí otevírají prostor tichu, proměně mysli i celého života.
Living through an apocalyptic time, Swiss theologian Karl Barth influenced
Christianity in the twentieth century profoundly. In Fully Alive, Stanley
Hauerwas demonstrates that Barth's radical theological perspective is
particularly relevant and applicable to the challenges of our own time.
Two pioneering theologians engage in a compelling dialogue, exploring significant personal and professional themes that resonate deeply with their experiences.

For over forty years Stanley Hauerwas has been writing theology that matters. In this new collection of essays, lectures, and sermons, Hauerwas continues his life's work of exploring the theological web, discovering and recovering the connections necessary for the church to bear faithful witness to Christ in our complex and changing times. Hauerwas enters into conversation with a diverse array of interlocutors as he brings new insights to bear on matters theological, delves into university matters, demonstrates how lives matter, and continues in his passionate commitment to the matter of preaching. Essays by Robert Dean illumine the connections that have made Hauerwas's theological web-slinging so significant and demonstrate why Hauerwas's sermons have a crucial role to play in the recovery of a gospel-shaped homiletical imagination.
Stanley Hauerwas is one of today's greatest theologians, but like many of us,
he is also a godparent. In this very special collection he invites us to share
in fifteen letters to sent to his godson, Laurence Wells. Each letter distills
years of self-reflection and religious thinking into an exploration of what
makes a happy, fulfilled life.
Stanley Hauerwas, a prominent figure in theological ethics, has made significant contributions through his extensive writings over the past 30 years. In the later stages of his career, he released two retrospective essay volumes and a celebrated memoir. These works reflect on his vast body of work, which can be overwhelming for readers, potentially leading to the perception that they merely reiterate his earlier positions.
David Burrell's collection critically examines the process of inquiry, challenging established theories of knowledge, language, and ethics. While he often references Aquinas, the essays also engage with diverse philosophical figures such as Plato, Aristotle, and Kant, highlighting the interplay of various perspectives in his thought. This compilation sheds light on the nuances of understanding and judgment, urging a reevaluation of inquiry methods and the implications of language. Its relevance is heightened by contemporary philosophical discourse, making it a significant contribution to academic discussions.
In Sanctify them in the Truth Stanley Hauerwas provides an overview of the development of theology and ethics. He considers how the two disciplines interrelate, discusses the nature of sin, how any account of sin requires a more determinative account of moral law, the nature of sanctification, the body as a subject for Christian holiness, and the relationship between sanctification and truthfulness. The volume ends with sermons - Hauerwas emphasizes the freedom the sermons create, as they remind us that the words we use are not our words. The inclusion of sermons also underlines Hauerwas' point that the truth of the gospel cannot be discovered apart from its embodiment in specific communities of faith. The Christian life, he argues, is not about being in possession of "the truth," defined as a set of timeless and universal principles of belief and action. Rather, it is about learning and living the life of truthfulness toward God and one another. For this Cornerstones edition Hauerwas has provided a new preface that places the work in the present debate and brings this remarkable work to a new audience.
Hauerwas und Willimon zeigen, wie porös das Hantieren mit christlichen Machtfantasien von jeher war, und setzen die christliche Gemeinde auf die Fährte des Nazareners: Im Zeichen der «Ohn-Macht» und gleichzeitig im Zeichen der Versöhnung liegt die Sprengkraft der christlichen Gemeinde, um die Welt zu verändern.
