Description

For many decades, Stanley Hauerwas has challenged Christians by urging them to truly follow Jesus in a way that influences every aspect of life—from personal choices to broader social issues. This influential theologian, a tall Texan whom Time magazine called “America’s theologian” due to his sharp insights into contemporary ethical dilemmas, argues that Christians must move beyond complaints about losing cultural and political influence. Instead, he invites them to embrace their role as outsiders and live out the radical alternative lifestyle Jesus originally envisioned.

This book offers a selection of accessible readings drawn from Hauerwas’s most important writings, introducing his prophetic insights to a new generation of Jesus’ followers who are weary of conventional religious practices and seek a more meaningful way forward.
