Stanley Hauerwas and William H. Williamon: Resident Aliens

Postat den 19 december, 2011 av phagman

Please don’t read this book. Or rather, if you haven’t read much by Hauerwas before don’t start with this one. It is written in order to be more ”popular”, that is, it is written more for pastors and lay people … Fortsätt läsa →

Elisabeth Gerle (red.): Luther som utmaning. Om frihet och ansvar.

Postat den 7 december, 2011 av phagman

Postat den 14 november, 2011 av phagman

Considering the fact that With the Grain of the Universe, Hauerwas’s Gifford lectures, was the first proper monograph written by Hauerwas since The Peaceable Kingdom (1983) it is hard not to feel a bit disappointed by the book. This could … Fortsätt läsa →

Stanley Hauerwas: Hannah’s Child. A Theologian’s Memoir

Postat den 8 november, 2011 av phagman

Hauerwas has dabbled with this kind of writing before, but still the beauty of this book must have been a surprise to those of us thinking that essays is all he could write. I have no doubt that this is … Fortsätt läsa →
