 Warning: waste of time and money, left-wing political garbage December 17, 2007
0 out of 9 found this review helpful
Ok. I was drawn into the unholy trinity of these three writers: Willimon, Hauerwas, and Wright. They all praise one another's books to the heavens. And yet, what a waste of time and money their blathering turned out to be. From "Lord Teach Us," page 50, "Our goal is not to fill you with enough spiritual hot air that you float a foot above the earth." Yet, that hot air is just what Willimon and Hauerwas offer you, as in, "Christianity is forever mixing religion and politics. Jesus is, as the prayer portrays, very political" (pg 51). This is the stuff that gave us the Inquisition, the Holocaust, and other intolerance. These guys actually have the temerity to state: "So when a president prays a public prayer, calling upon God to bless our troops going into war, that is blasphemy" (pg. 48). The writers are so far left they are far right. Willimon and Hauerwas write pompous, politically motivated diatribes.

This is a really fine overview of the Lord's Prayer. It takes a prayer most of us have memorized and explains in detail what each verse is trying to teach us. It encouraged me while providing practical guidance on how to implement what I learned into my life.
 Unique way to begin exploring Christianity December 26, 2000

Using the Lord's Prayer as a starting point, Hauerwas and Willimon guide readers through major areas of Christian Ethics and thought in their trademark style. Readers familiar with the work of Hauerwas and Willimon will enjoy seeing their individual styles shine through occasionally, and the book reads like one of Willimon's sermons. It is important to understand that this is not a discussion of the Lord's Prayer for experienced Christians, but it can be good for people who have claimed but perhaps not actively thought about their faith.
