Hauerwas hates the idea of abstract reason because he thinks it makes us less able to participate at a local level. One memorable quote was, 'Christianity is an ongoing effort to avoid abstraction'. Lewis was the consummate abstract thinker. Deductive reason was Lewis's main contribution to Christian theology so I doubt he would have got much love from Hauerwas.

I can't really say why. I guess is a (sort of) unique feature of living in the 21st century; we have the keen awareness that our way of looking at things is not the only one out there. I have always been a bit threatened by this. If my faith tells me that it is the only true path, what are the implications of that for how I think about those of other faiths. I realize that not everyone has the same level of interest. But if Hauerwas says it... I believe it. Dale,

I thought that was a good challange, with some salty language :). In the pluralism lecture i felt he didnt say that much other then the obvious, know your neighbours, really know them and love them...although i must admit that i only understood probably like 10% of what he said...

Recently, it seems like pluralism has really caught your attention. What is your facination with this topic? Gil this is not a challenge just a question.
