A Hauerwas "reader", this book is aimed at undergraduate students of ethics. The author characterizes non-violence as the cornerstone of Christian ethics.



In this classic work, Stanley Hauerwas presents an overall introduction to the themes and method that have distinguished his vision of Christian ethics. Rather than survey ethical thinkers or quandaries he develops one straightforward account of a Christian ethic, systematically displaying ideas introduced in his previous works and emphasizing peaceableness as a hallmark of Christian life.
