In this book, controversial and world-renowned theologian, Stanley
Hauerwas, tackles the issue of theology being sidelined as a
necessary discipline in the modern university. It is an attempt to
reclaim the knowledge of God as just that - knowledge.
* * Questions why theology is no longer considered a necessary
subject in the modern university, and explores the role it should
play in the development of our "knowledge"
* Considers how theology is often excluded from the knowledges of
the modern university because these are constituted by an
understanding of time necessary to make economic and state
realities seem inevitable
* Argues that it is precisely this difference that makes
Christian theology an essential resource for the university to
achieve its task - that is, to form people who are able to imagine
a different world through critical and disciplined reflection
* Challenges the domesticated character of much recent theology
by suggesting how prayer and the love of the poor are essential
practices that should shape the theological task
* Converses with figures as diverse as Luigi Giussani, David
Burrell, Stanley Fish, Wendell Berry, Jeff Stout, Rowan Williams
and Sheldon Wolin
* Published in the new and prestigious Illuminations
series.

Autoren-Porträt von Stanley Hauerwas
Stanley Hauerwas is Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Christian Ethics at Duke University and holds a joint appointment in Duke Law School. He is known to be controversial and outspoken; his stand as a pacifist against the Iraq war made him a nationally recognized dissident but won him few friends. His work cuts across disciplinary lines: systematic theology, philosophical theology and ethics, political theory, as well as the philosophy of social science and medical ethics.
