Revisiting some of his earliest philosophical and theological views to better understand and clarify what he has said before, Hauerwas explores how theological reflection can be understood as an exercise in practical reason. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHauerwas includes chapters on a wide array of topics, including How I Think I Learned to Think Theologically, How the Holy Spirit Works, How to Write a Theological Sentence, and How to Be Theologically Funny. In a postscript he responds to Nicholas Healy's recent book \u003ci\u003eHauerwas: A (Very) Critical Introduction.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat we believe as Christians, says Hauerwas, is quite basic and even simple. But because it is so basic, we can lose any sense of the extraordinary nature of Christian beliefs and practices. In discussing the work of theology, Hauerwas seeks to recover that sense of the oddness of what we believe as Christians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanley Hauerwas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802871909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802871909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
