Two respected theologians speak about the provocative topics that interest them most.
A new volume in the In Conversation series, featuring two trailblazing theologians discussing things that matter to them personally and professionally.
Two contemporary theologians, Samuel Wells and Stanley Hauerwas, add their voices to the ongoing conversation about Christian life in the twenty-first century.
This third book in the In Conversation series dives deeply into the theological and personal ideas and motivations for the work of two prominent Christian thinkers. Readers will discover their thoughts on the Trinity, parish ministry, and non-violence, along with anecdotes and intimate notions on marriage, family, and even baseball. Followers of Wells’s and Hauerwas’s theological and homiletical work will find out what has influenced them most, and where they’d like to go from here.
A fascinating read for Episcopalians and Anglicans, and those who enjoyed the first two In Conversation books.
“These conversations spark with energy and intelligence, with candour and (often) a kind of gospel-shaped mischief. If you think there is nothing new or interesting to be said about preaching, forgiveness, race, power, marriage and sexuality, university education, think again. Stanley and Sam have a rare gift for making things fresh, turning familiar questions around and genuinely inviting you to learn, as they have so manifestly learned from their friendship. A welcome shaft of spiritual clarity in a very wintry season for Western society.” —The Most Rev. Rowan Williams, 104th Archbishop of Canterbury
"This freedom to be present in the present imbues In Conversation with winsomeness, the gracious mirth of two conversation partners who feel free to dissent and clarify without fear of judgment or anxiety that it’s up to them to get it all right. At a time when basic civility feels like a mirage, Hauerwas and Wells stage a sort of intervention to compel us to do Christianity in a healthier way."
—Jason Micheli, The Christian Century
