Description

In this classic work, Stanley Hauerwas presents an overall introduction to the themes and method that have distinguished his vision of Christian ethics. Rather than survey ethical thinkers or quandaries he develops one straightforward account of a Christian ethic, systematically displaying ideas introduced in his previous works and emphasizing peaceableness as a hallmark of Christian life. This new edition includes an extensive Postscript in which Hauerwas discusses how he regards The Peaceable Kingdom twenty years after it was first published. Contents: Introduction; 1. Christian Ethics in a Fragmented and Violent World; 2. A Qualified Ethic: The Narrative Character of Christian Ethics; 3. On Being Historic: Agency, Character and Sin; 4. On Beginning in the Middle: Nature, Reason and the Task of Theological Ethics; 5. Jesus: The Presence of the Peaceable Kingdom; 6. The Servant Community: Christian Social Ethics; 7. Casuistry as a Narrative Act; 8. Tragedy and Joy: The Spirituality of Peaceableness; Postscript; Notes; Index
