seriously concerned with the authenticity of Christian ethics must
read.” —Christian Century
“A concise and provocative discussion of the nature of ethics. . .
. Hauerwas speaks of the importance of testing our skills against
the excellences of others. Reading his book provides just such a
test.” —Journal of Religion
“Exciting, provocative, and challenging . . . the value of this
excellent book can hardly be overstated.” —Review of Books and
Religion

practical agenda. It is an excellent place to begin reading.”
—Religious Studies Review
“In this brief book Stanley Hauerwas, one of the most prolific
writers in Christian ethics of his generation, sets forth his
clearest, most readable, and most cogent statement to date of his
own perspective on how ethics should be done in a Christian
context.” —Interpretation: A Journal of Bible & Theology
