Overview
Timeless wisdom from a renowned theologian on living wellĀ
From the fairy godmotherās pumpkin coach to Herr Drosselmeyerās nutcracker, godparents have long been associated with good gifts. But inĀ The Character of VirtueĀ theologian and ethicist Stanley Hauerwas offers his real-life godson something far more precious than toys or trinketsāthe gift of hard-won wisdom on life and the process of maturing.Ā
In each of sixteen lettersāsent on the occasion of Laurence Wellsās baptism and every year thereafterāHauerwas contemplates a specific virtue and its meaning for a child growing year by year into the Christian faith. Writing on kindness, courage, humility, joy, and more, Hauerwas distills centuries of religious thinking and decades of self-reflection into heartfelt personal epistles that are both timely and timeless.
An introduction by Samuel WellsāLaurenceās father and Hauerwasās friendātells the story behind these letters and offers sage insight into what a godparent is and can be.
