Grace: Divorce and Stanley Hauerwas
View through CrossRef
Divorce is a much maligned state of life, especially because it spells failure—not only of a marriage relationship, but even of Christian ideals about marriage. Some Christians repeatedly emphasize a Christian vision about marriage. Others want to make Christian doctrine on divorce more realistic by changing the ideals. Neither idealism nor realism are helpful Christian approaches to divorce. Stanley Hauerwas discusses the importance of Christian discipleship in the midst of failure, and especially grace, alongside his own poignant account of divorce. Lauren Winner also provides some commentary on divorce, showing that divorce teaches Christians about the immeasurable beauty of God’s grace.
