In Good Company

“[Hauerwas’s theme] informs and braces every selection in this lively collection, and gives the reader the sort of workover one doesn’t experience often enough when reading contemporary theology.” —Commonweal

“Hauerwas writes with deep conviction. He seeks not only to explain the Christian faith but also to persuade and promote ways of thinking and acting that he believes Christians should embrace.” —Journal of Ecumenical Studies

“The ecumenical dimension of the volume is engaging. Hauerwas is at home in both Protestant and Catholic institutions and he has a good understanding of the underlying theology of both. . . . In Good Company will introduce the reader to a contemporary voice that is worth listening to.” —Pro Ecclesia

“Hauerwas . . . provocatively explores what it means to be a Christian. . . . [T]his book . . . will certainly provide stimulating and good company to all who read it.” —Journal of Contemporary Religion

“Hauerwas enjoys being a provocative voice in the larger forum of contemporary ethical discourse. He cultivates an in-your-face style at times that can distort by oversimplifying the questions he claims to clarify. But part of his charm and technique is to encircle the reader and pull him or her further and further into his interpretation of the Kingdom of God.” —America
