Editorial Reviews
Review
Claiming that the Christian church has failed to do what it always promised to do (insulate Christians from the corruption and despair of the secular world) Stanley Hauerwas boldly urges all Christians to unite as a body politic so that they might recover and put to use the elements of their faith that set them apart from the rest of the world, thereby strengthening and sustaining them in the post-Christian era. Hauerwas is not aligned by belief or practice with the"Christian Right". Instead, he insists that Christians should be pacifists and that their church matters "not only for how we live as Christians but for how we do theology and ethics. " In Good Company: The Church As Polis is Hauerwas' attempt to exhibit a theological politics, not through abstract characterizations, but through actual displays and discussion of the material practices of the Christian church. -- Midwest Book Review
Product Description
In this collection of essays, the author sets out to persuade Christians to take themselves more seriously as Christians and to recognise the unifying beliefs and practices characteristic of their faith.
