In this book, controversial and world-renowned theologian, StanleyHauerwas, tackles the issue of theology being sidelined as anecessary discipline in the modern university. It is an attempt toreclaim the knowledge of God as just that - knowledge.
Questions why theology is no longer considered a necessarysubject in the modern university, and explores the role it shouldplay in the development of our "knowledge"
Considers how theology is often excluded from the knowledges ofthe modern university because these are constituted by anunderstanding of time necessary to make economic and staterealities seem inevitable
Argues that it is precisely this difference that makesChristian theology an essential resource for the university toachieve its task - that is, to form people who are able to imaginea different world through critical and disciplined reflection
Challenges the domesticated character of much recent theologyby suggesting how prayer and the love of the poor are essentialpractices that should shape the theological task
Converses with figures as diverse as Luigi Giussani, DavidBurrell, Stanley Fish, Wendell Berry, Jeff Stout, Rowan Williamsand Sheldon Wolin
Published in the new and prestigious Illuminationsseries.
