Most of Dr. Stanley Hauerwas's reflections with his "Introduction to Christian Ethics" class, approximately twenty minutes after the second plane struck the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 Shared with permission +++++ STANLEY HAUERWAS Gilbert T. Rowe Professor Emeritus of Divinity and Law B.A., Southwestern University B.D., M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D., Yale University D.D., University of Edinburgh Professor Hauerwas has sought to recover the significance of the virtues for understanding the nature of the Christian life. This search has led him to emphasize the importance of the church, as well as narrative for understanding Christian existence. His work cuts across disciplinary lines as he is in conversation with systematic theology, philosophical theology and ethics, political theory, as well as the philosophy of social science and medical ethics. He was named "America's Best Theologian" by Time magazine in 2001. Dr. Hauerwas, who holds a joint appointment in Duke Law School, delivered the prestigious Gifford Lectureship at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland in 2001. His book, A Community of Character: Toward a Constructive Christian Social Ethic, was selected as one of the 100 most important books on religion of the 20th century. Dr. Hauerwas recently authored The Work of Theology (Eerdmans, 2015), Hannah's Child: A Theological Memoir, 2nd Ed. (Eerdmans, 2012), and War and the American Difference: Theological Reflections on Violence and National Identity ( Baker Academic Press, 2011).
