Description: In this challenging, controversial volume, Stanley Hauerwas asserts that both liberal (historical-critical) and fundamentalist (literal) approaches to biblical scholarship have corrupted our use of the Bible - especially in preaching - in the American church. He argues that the Bible can be understood only in the midst of a disciplined community of people, where the story is actually lived out by dedicated practitioners. -- BOOK COVER.
