Brad J. Kallenberg is professor of religious studies at the University of Dayton, Ohio.

"Brad Kallenberg, in this extraordinary book, has done several things simultaneously. First, he has demonstrated his own mastery of the work of both Ludwig Wittgenstein and Stanley Hauerwas. Second, he has interestingly displayed, as he puts it, the family resemblance between the writings of Wittgenstein and Hauerwas. Third, and most importantly, he uses Wittgenstein's writings to show that Hauerwas is only sectarian or tribalist or fideist in ways that all of us are. This latter claim is at least one way of stating the overall purpose of the book." —Studies in Christian Ethics". . . this book ought to be of interest both to theologians and philosophers interested in the complex and interesting authorships of both Wittgenstein and Hauerwas . . . well worth the read. . . ." —Review of Metaphysics"This study of the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Stanley Hauerwas offers a much-needed contribution to contemporary theological ethics. The degree of difficulty that is involved in studying either of the subjects of this book is high enough, but to take on both is nothing less than stunning.... Thanks to Kallenberg's excellent study, philosophical and theological understanding of these issues has been newly enriched.

[I]mmensely illuminating–a very good book indeed." —Theology"In this perceptive and often mesmerizing book Kallenberg suggests innovative readings of two of the 20th century's most significant ethicists, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Stanley Hauerwas... He has a perceptive and unconventional interpretation of the challenges facing theological ethics today." —Theological Studies"In his carefully crafted and insightful Ethics as Grammar, Brad Kallenberg portrays a dependent relation between two important thinkers.... [I]t is a surprising one. He suggests that you cannot really understand Stanley Hauerwas until you have read Ludwig Wittgenstein. Who would think of associating these two minds? Kallenberg, however, makes the case brilliantly and in the process adds much to our comprehension of both thinkers." —Pro Ecclesia
