Literature and religion

0.0 (0)

How does one culture "read" another? This book is a series of conversations between a scholar from China and a scholar from the West, each reading texts from the other's culture. One of the key issues is the nature of religion and what we understand by that term in a world in which ancient religious and customs seem to be dying or under threat. Does literature and religion offer the possibility of mutual understanding--or merely illustrate our differences? These conversations between scholars are also between friends. And that, too, is important. -- back cover.

In Good Company

0.0 (0)

With this collection of essays, celebrated theologian Stanley Hauerwas attempts to foment a modest revolution by forcing Christians to take themselves more seriously as Christians and to recognize the unifying beliefs and practices characteristic of their faith - a faith that makes them a political entity apart from the re of the world. By exposing a different account of politics - the church polis and "counter-story" to the world's politics - Hauerwas helps Christians see that in fact, God has given them the means to escape the destructive practices of the world by placing them "in good company" with one another, Catholic and Protestant alike.
