| Summary: | Academic culture has a way of denying or devaluing the subjective. For this reason, autobiography is not a common genre that is pursued—much less taken seriously—by serious theologians. After all, such endeavouring could go wrong in so many different ways, including compromising the professional integrity of the one pursuing it. Hauerwas’ memoir, however, has proven an exception to the rule and as such it is an exceptional work by an exceptional human being because in the book the author strives to be truthful about what it means for a Christian scholar to lead a life of faith., A trademark of Hauerwas is his great care with words. ‘Memoir’ for him indicates drawing connections between and meanings from happenings. |
