توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب :
استنلی هاورواس یکی از پرخواننده ترین و پراستنادترین متکلمانی است که امروزه می نویسد. او که یک سخنران و نویسنده پرکار است، در خط مقدم تحولات کلیدی الهیات معاصر، از الهیات روایی گرفته تا «بازیابی فضیلت» بوده است. با این حال، علیرغم برجستگی و احترامی که برای اندیشهاش قائل بود، آثار او هرگز در یک مجلد جمعآوری نشده بود که حسی از کلیت بینش او را ارائه دهد.
ویراستاران The Hauerwas Reader بنابراین، جلدی را گردآوری و ویرایش کردهاند که تمام دورهها و مراحل مختلف کار Hauerwas را نشان میدهد. این مجموعه با برجسته کردن اهداف سازنده و تمایل او به بحث و جدل، تنوع بسیار زیاد موضوعاتی که او درگیر کرده است، ژانرهای مختلفی که در آن نوشته است و مخاطبان متنوعی که او به آن پرداخته است را نشان می دهد. Hauerwas در مورد اخلاق، فضیلت، پزشکی و رنج ارائه می دهد. در مورد اتانازی، سقط جنین و تمایلات جنسی؛ و در مورد جنگ در رابطه با اندیشه کاتولیک و پروتستان. مقالات او درباره نقش دین در دموکراسی های لیبرال، جایگاه خانواده در جوامع سرمایه داری، جدایی ناپذیری مسیحیت و یهودیت و بسیاری از موضوعات دیگر نیز گنجانده شده است.
شاید بیش از هر نویسنده دیگری که امروزه در مورد موضوعات دینی می نویسد، هاوئرواس در سراسر خطوط سنت دینی صحبت می کند و متدیست ها، یهودیان، آناباپتیست ها یا منونیت ها، کاتولیک ها، اسقفی ها، و دیگران را به خود جلب می کند.

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :
Stanley Hauerwas is one of the most widely read and oft-cited theologians writing today. A prolific lecturer and author, he has been at the forefront of key developments in contemporary theology, ranging from narrative theology to the “recovery of virtue.” Yet despite his prominence and the esteem reserved for his thought, his work has never before been collected in a single volume that provides a sense of the totality of his vision.
The editors of The Hauerwas Reader, therefore, have compiled and edited a volume that represents all the different periods and phases of Hauerwas’s work. Highlighting both his constructive goals and penchant for polemic, the collection reflects the enormous variety of subjects he has engaged, the different genres in which he has written, and the diverse audiences he has addressed. It offers Hauerwas on ethics, virtue, medicine, and suffering; on euthanasia, abortion, and sexuality; and on war in relation to Catholic and Protestant thought. His essays on the role of religion in liberal democracies, the place of the family in capitalist societies, the inseparability of Christianity and Judaism, and on many other topics are included as well.
Perhaps more than any other author writing on religious topics today, Hauerwas speaks across lines of religious traditions, appealing to Methodists, Jews, Anabaptists or Mennonites, Catholics, Episcopalians, and others.
