The Character of Virtue: Letters to a Godson
Stanley Hauerwas
Candid wisdom from a renowned theologian on living well.From the fairy godmother's pumpkin coach to Herr Drossel-meyer's nutcracker, godparents have long been associated with good gifts. In The Character of Virtue theologian and ethicist Stanley Hauerwas offers his real-life godson something far more precious than toys or trinkets--the gift of hard-won wisdom on life and the process of maturing.In each of fourteen letters--sent on the occasion of Laurence Wells's baptism and every year thereafter--Hauerwas contemplates a specific virtue and its meaning for a child growing year by year in 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 packed with wit and punch. An introduction by Samuel Wells--Laurence's father and Hauerwas's friend--tells the story behind these letters and offers sage insight into what a godparent is and can be.
