Resident Aliens: Life in the Christian Colony by Stanley Hauerwas and William Willimon Abingdon / 1989 / Softcover

Is the church being the church? In a nutshell that is the question Hauerwas and Willimon have asked in this book. The authors use Philippians 2:5-11, 3:20-21 to bring together a call to the Church to examine their roots. Is the church in western society the church of the New Testament? Though the book seems to target the clergy, it is also for all members of Christ’s body should read to help us re-evaluate its place in God’s story.
