A public lecture by Professor Stanley Hauerwas
Should the church have a voice in the political debates of modern secular nation states? Shouldn't we keep religion and politics separate? Internationally renowned theologian Stanley Hauerwas discusses a “politics of Christian existence,” that calls for a renewal of political life by challenging received notions of both politics and secularity.
Prof. Hauerwas's 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. He recently authored Matthew: Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible (Brazos Press, 2006) and The State of the University: Academic Knowledges and the Knowledge of God (Blackwell Publishing, 2007). He was named ‘America’s Best Theologian’ by Time magazine in 2001. He has previously taught at the University of Notre Dame and is currently the Gilbert T. Rowe Professor Emeritus of Divinity and Law and a Senior Research Fellow at the Duke University Divinity School.
The lecture is hosted by the University’s Centre for Citizenship, Civil Society and Rule of Law (CISRUL).
Snacks and refreshments will be available in NK10 from 5.15 pm and after the lecture.
