Living Gently In A Violent World

The Prophetic Witness Of Weakness

BY STANLEY HAUERWAS, JEAN VANIER

Brief Description:
How are Christians to live in a violent and wounded world? Rather than contending for privilege by wielding power and authority, we can witness prophetically from a position of weakness. The church has much to learn from an often overlooked community -those with disabilities. In this fascinating book, Hauerwas collaborates with Jean Vanier, founder of the L'Arche communities. For many years, Hauerwas has reflected on the lives of people with disability, community, and how the experience of disability addresses the weaknesses and failures of liberal society. L'Arche provides a unique model of inclusive community that is underpinned by a deep spirituality and theology.
