Living Holiness: Stanley Hauerwas and the Church

Stanley Hauerwas, was declared by Time Magazine in 2001 to be 'America's best theologian'. This book explores his work on the Church as a community living holiness. It offers an accessible introduction to Hauerwas's understanding of the ethics, character, narrative, practices and politics of the Church in late modern societies. Hauerwas has many imaginative, challenging and creative things to say, and this book seeks to make them more available to the wider Church and its clergy at ground level.
