Stanley Hauerwas
In his prolific career, theologian Stanley Hauerwas has written more than forty books. In Remembering, he looks back on the small library he has published. Rereading his books, he finds what still satisfies him, what he would retract, and wonders where he could have said things better. Along the way, Hauerwas reflects on the many deep friendships that have fueled his writing--friendships with coauthors, fellow scholars, graduate students, editors, and others. He offers glimpses into the circumstances and contexts behind his books. And he reveals a hope, even in an increasingly tumultuous world and amid shrinking church membership, of a 'coming great church.'This 'biography of books' is vintage Hauerwas: candid and plainly honest, often surprising, and above all marked by a prophetic faith in the truthfulness of the gospel. Readers new to Hauerwas and those well acquainted with his work will find this small book illuminating and instructive.
