The Gospel of John makes explicit what all the Gospels assume - that is, the cross is not a defeat, but the victory of our God.

From Stanley Hauerwas

'It is finished' is the triumphant cry that what I came to do has been done. All is accomplished, completed, fulfilled work.

From Stanley Hauerwas

To be a Christian means you become a part of the most significant story the world has ever heard. You don't become part of that without an ongoing questioning of what it means to become part of that.

From Stanley Hauerwas

The fact that I spent my life in universities in a manner that I no longer have close identification with bricklayers is a pain to me.

From Stanley Hauerwas

I'm a happy and productive person. I'm very fortunate; I was born with happy genes. I've got a lot of energy.

From Stanley Hauerwas

The problem with the U.S. foreign policy is that we're just so unbelievably powerful. And when you've got that kind of power, it's very hard not to use it.

From Stanley Hauerwas

One of the problems we currently have is there hasn't been in the population any serious engagement with the ethics of war because we have an all-volunteer army. I would think the return to the draft would be an intervention that would require discussion that might be more helpful in terms of our ability to limit war.

From Stanley Hauerwas

Jesus made the final sacrifice for all, and we need not make it again.

From Stanley Hauerwas

To try to turn Iraq into a liberal democracy is absolutely crazy. Islam has no understanding of the separation between church and state because they don't understand Islam to be a church.

From Stanley Hauerwas

The very idea that you could have separation between mosque and state from Islam's perspective is the imposition on them of Christian practice. Islam doesn't really have a place for state. They are a universalistic faith like Christianity, but they think there is no country that bounds Islam.
