In Conversation
Description
Two contemporary theologians, Samuel Wells and Stanley Hauerwas, add their voices to the ongoing conversation about Christian life in the twenty-first century.
This third book in the In Conversation series dives deeply into the theological and personal ideas and motivations for the work of two prominent Christian thinkers. Readers will discover their thoughts on the Trinity, parish ministry, and non-violence, along with anecdotes and intimate notions on marriage, family, and even baseball. Followers of Wells's and Hauerwas's theological and homiletical work will find out what has influenced them most, and where they'd like to go from here.
A fascinating read for Episcopalians and Anglicans, and those who enjoyed the first two In Conversation books.
