Description
Learning to Speak Christian explores the central challenge of theology: using words about God in a way that reflects the complexities of life. Stanley Hauerwas argues that the task of theology is not just to express abstract ideas, but to help us do things with words.
Theologians must learn how to use language about God in a way that is honest and authentic. This requires discipline by Christian practice, rather than simply relying on abstract concepts or technical jargon. By examining the nature of theological language, Hauerwas sheds light on the essential challenge of speaking truthfully about God.
