Stanley Hauerwas. Do we need to say more? The man is the preeminent living American theologian and has formed and shaped Christian thought and practice for decades. Stanley is a gift to the Church, and we loved chatting with him. We talked about sola scriptura, Kierkegaard, pacifism, how to be a Christian in America today, and much more. The audio for this episode is not to our regular standard. We apologize for that, and hope you can hang in there. It's worth it when we're talking to a treasure like Stanley.

The books mentioned in this episode are:

  • Hannah's Child - Stanley Hauerwas
  • Prayers Plainly Spoken - Stanley Hauerwas 
  • Unleashing the Scripture: Freeing the Bible from Captivity to America - Stanley Hauerwas
  • The Character of Virtue: Letters to a Godson - Stanley Hauerwas
  • Beginnings: Interrogating Hauerwas - Stanley Hauerwas and Brian Brock
  • War and the American Difference: Theological Reflections on Violence and National Identity - Stanley Hauerwas

We tasted the incredible 12 Year Glenfarclas. Don't pass it by if you find some.

The beverage tasting is at 4:45. To skip to the interview, go to 7:52.

Content note: this episode contains some mild profanity.
