Q & A with Stanley Hauerwas

Earlier this summer I read Hannah's Child: A Theologian's Memoir, which is the recent autobiography by Duke theologian Stanley Hauerwas.

Hannah's Child is a very good read - a remarkably candid memoir that, for the lay reader, can also serve as something of an introduction to Hauerwas' way of thinking about the Christian faith, the church, and theological education. (You can obtain a copy of Hannah's Child here.)

I mention this because Robin Russell at the United Methodist Reporter has just done a great Q & A with Hauerwas that draws from some of the material in Hauerwas' memoir. You can read her interview at this link. If you don't know much about Hauerwas or are unfamiliar with his influence on contemporary theology, you should really check out this interview.

Bonus #1: Duke University's Office Hours program recently did a video interview with Dr. Hauerwas available here.

Bonus #2: Faith & Leadership at Duke Divinity School conducted a video interview with Dr. Hauerwas on the issue of Christian leadership which you can find here.
