Text Quotes
God is whoever raised Jesus from the dead, having before raised Israel from Egypt. There is no God but this God. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
War is America’s central liturgical act necessary to renew our sense that we are a nation unlike other nations. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
I am a Protestant. I am a communicant at the Church of the Holy Family, an Episcopal church in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
The idea is that Jesus overcame death through the Resurrection. What that does is fail to appreciate the fact that the resurrected Christ is the crucified Christ. It’s not like, ‘Oh, that was just a mistake, now it’s over.’ Jesus continues to suffer from our sins. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
I have assumed my clear commitment to a Trinitarian orthodoxy was sufficient evidence that I have not intentionally ignored the role of the Holy Spirit. It may be true, however, that my work has been so Christ-centred, I may have given the impression that the Holy Spirit is an afterthought. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
Christians need jobs just like anybody else, but the years you spend as an undergraduate are like everything else in your life. They’re not yours to do with as you please. They’re Christ’s. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
Conservatives and liberals understand the Christian faith as a set of ideas because, so understood, Christianity seems to be a set of beliefs assessable to anyone upon reflection. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
By the time I had got to college, I had begun to read and had decided that most of what Christians believed could not be credible. So I became a philosophy major at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
The very idea that you could have separation between mosque and state from Islam’s perspective is the imposition on them of Christian practice. Islam doesn’t really have a place for state. They are a universalistic faith like Christianity, but they think there is no country that bounds Islam. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
Though the world may often appear to be more charitable than the church, it is crucial to remember that, for the church, the care of the poor cannot be separated from the worship of God. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
I was raised in an evangelical Methodist church. Evangelical meant that though you had been baptized and made a member of the church on Sunday morning, you still had to be ‘saved’ on Sunday night. I wanted to be saved, but I did not think you should fake it. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
In Britain, when someone says they do not believe in God, they stop going to church. In the U.S., many who may have doubts about Christian orthodoxy may continue to go to church. They do so because they assume that a vague God vaguely prayed to is the God that is needed to support family and nation. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
Undergraduate life on college campuses tends in the direction of neopagan excess (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
It is finished’ is the triumphant cry that what I came to do has been done. All is accomplished, completed, fulfilled work. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
From the beginning, Christianity has struggled to sustain the creative tension between the personal appropriation of the gospel and the gospel’s universal reach. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
The ‘Cold War’ impinged on the daily lives of Americans. The wars after 11 September 2001 have been fought without the general American population having to make any sacrifices. It goes on, and so do we. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
It is often observed that the first casualty of war is truth, but how do you tell the truth without betraying the sacrifice of those who accepted the terms of battle? War is a sacrificial system that creates its own justification. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
Time is a gift and a threat because we are bodily creatures. We only come into existence through the bodies of others, but that very body destines us to death. We must be born and we must die. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
The world does not have time to be with the poor, to learn with the poor, to listen to the poor. To listen to the poor is an exercise of great discipline, but such listening surely is what is required if charity is not to become a hatred of the poor for being poor. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
Whatever it means for us to exist, we do so as creatures created, as the universe has been created, to glorify God. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
It turns out that the God whose word will stand forever does not exist to insure our fantasies that we will not have to die as individuals or as a species. Such a God, moreover, does not invite us to presume we can comprehend God’s creation. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
We don’t fall in love and then get married; instead we get married and then learn what love requires. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
I teach in the Divinity School at Duke University, a very secular university. But before Duke, I taught fourteen years at the University of Notre Dame. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
Most of us believe that we possess some aspect of eternity that will insure some kind of survival beyond death. The only problem with those strategies is they forget that only God is eternal. We are finite. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
We Protestants automatically assume that the Pharisees are the Catholics. They are the self-righteous people who have made Christianity a form of legalistic religion, thereby destroying the free grace of the Gospel. We Protestants are the tax collectors, knowing that we are sinners and that our lives depend upon God’s free grace. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
Israel knew that there was no greater gift than to be given God’s name, but that gift was a frightening reality that threatened to consume her. Israel, who would be tempted by the idolatrous presumption she possessed God’s name, rightly never forgot she could not say God’s name. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
Jesus is the politics of the new age; He is about the establishment of a kingdom; He is the one who has created a new time that gives us the time not only to care for the poor but to be poor. Jesus is the one who makes it possible to be nonviolent in a violent world. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
The God most Americans say they believe in is just not interesting enough to deny. Thus the only kind of atheism that counts in America is to call into question the proposition that everyone has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
We, like the people of Israel, would like to think we get to name God. By naming God, we hope to get the kind of God we need; that is, a God after our own likeness. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
The Gospel of John makes explicit what all the Gospels assume - that is, the cross is not a defeat, but the victory of our God. (Stanley Hauerwas Quotes)
