Richard B. Hays Interview, Audio, Video, and Bibliography

Baylor Ph.D. student in Hebrew Bible John Anderson has posted a new interview with Richard B. Hays, George Washington Ivey Professor of New Testament at Duke University’s Divinity School.  Hays is my principal adviser in my doctoral work at Duke.  It is a great interview for getting to know Dr. Hays.

Hays will be presenting "Knowing Jesus: Story, History, and the Question of Truth" at the Wheaton Theology Conference April 16-17 which I'm attending. The audio and video of all of the talks are now available here for free at WETN (Wheaton College’s radio station).

See also this November 15, 2009 sermon by Dr. Hays at Duke University Chapel on YouTube or as a podcast or streamed.  This is the church where Dr. Hays attends.  It is located on the campus of Duke University.  It is interdenominational worship with Methodist and Anglican flavor.  Sam Wells, who is a faculty member in theology and ethics at Duke Divinity School, is the Dean of the Chapel and the regular preacher.  Will Willimon, currently Bishop of The United Methodist Church in the North Alabama Conference, used to be Dean of the Chapel.

A PDF of this sermon is available here: http://www.chapel.duke.edu/documents/Hays–11-15-09.pdf

His name is spelled "Hays" not "Hayes."  His prayer and sermon begin at 28.20 in the worship service.

The latest from Stanley Hauerwas: Memoir and Movies

Coming May 15, 2010: Stanley Hauerwas, Hannah's Child: A Theologian's Memoir (Eerdmans).

Stanley Hauerwas - Hannah's Child - A Theologian's Memoir

This introduction is now (January 31, 2010) available for download at Eerdmans's website.

Dr. Hauerwas is Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological Ethics at Duke Divinity School. 

I also recommend four snippets from interviews with Hauerwas from theworkofthepeople.com. 

In this first video (1:50) Hauerwas describes the comfort of the tactile in baptism which remind us of the reality that we in our dying are not alone.

Aloneness from The Work Of The People on Vimeo.

In this second video (2:55) Hauerwas worries about efforts that focus on church growth which end up producing homogenous congregations and entertaining worship in which the people are spectators rather than participants .

In this third snippet at Are You Aware You're Going To Die? or at Facebook (3:58), Hauerwas reflects on how many Christians live in denial that they are going to die. 

In this fourth snippet (1:12) only at Facebook, Hauerwas says, "because we are not in control anymore, we are free."

See also more audio by Hauerwas at http://itunes.duke.edu/ and Socratic Audio Files.

I also highly recommend the fascinating dense article by Hauerwas on theological interpretation of Scripture.

Stanley Hauerwas, "Why 'The Way the Words Run' Matters: Reflections on Becoming a 'Major Biblical Scholar,' in The Word Leaps the Gap: Essays on Scripture and Theology in Honor of Richard B. Hays (ed. J. R. Wagner, A. K. Grieb and C. K. Rowe; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2008), 1-19.

which can be read at Google Books here.
