Hauerwas is contemporary theology's foremost intellectual provocateur. His depth charges are just as frequently aimed within that world as outside it.

"There's something very efficient about [traditional] schooling, and home schooling isn't exactly efficient." That's one reason TIME found so many home schoolers who had formed de facto "schools" that offer science labs and basketball teams...
