Stanley Hauerwas quotes - page 2

Jesus's poverty has made it possible for a people to exist who can live dispossessed of possessions. To be poor does not in itself make one a follower of Jesus, but it can put you in the vicinity of what it might mean to discover the kind of poverty that frees those who follow Jesus from enslavement to the world. Not to be missed, moreover, is the political significance of such poverty. Too often we fail to recognize our accommodation to worldly powers because we fear losing our wealth. (Stanley Hauerwas)
From my perspective, 'postmodernism' merely names an interesting set of developments in the social order that is based on the presumption that God does not matter. View quote
