{"product_id":"9780822317166","title":"Dispatches from the Front : Theological Engagements with the Secular","description":"\u003cp\u003eGod knows it is hard to make God boring, Stanley Hauerwas writes, but American Christians, aided and abetted by theologians, have accomplished that feat. Whatever might be said about Hauerwas-and there is plenty-no one has ever accused him of being boring, and in this book he delivers another jolt to all those who think that Christian theology is a matter of indifference to our secular society.\n\u003cbr\u003eAt once Christian theology and social criticism, this book aims to show that the two cannot be separated. In this spirit, Hauerwas mounts a forceful attack on current sentimentalities about the significance of democracy, the importance of the family, and compassion, which appears here as a literally fatal virtue. In this time of the decline of religious knowledge, when knowing a little about a religion tends to do more harm than good, Hauerwas offers direction to those who would make Christian discourse both useful and truthful. Animated by a deep commitment, his essays exhibit the difference that Christian theology can make in the shaping of lives and the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52267833196855,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":173.1,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9780822317166-1.jpg?v=1783129629","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9780822317166","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
