(Really Brief) Book Review: Unleashing the Scripture: Freeing the Bible from Captivity to America by Stanley Hauerwas

Unleashing the Scripture: Freeing the Bible from Captivity to AmericaUnleashing the Scripture: Freeing the Bible from Captivity to America by Stanley M. Hauerwas

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read from Hauerwas. The first part of the book contains several essays which challenge us to think about the way we read the bible, especially as Americans. Neither fundamentalists nor liberals are spared Hauerwas' withering and critical eye. The back half of the book is a collection of sermons, all of which are convicting and powerful.
