Reverend Canon Dr. Sam Wells

Speak Thus

Philosophy

“Craig Hovey offers us a book of Christian manners. Just as manners are the skills and practices we require to be equally at home in many social contexts, so Hovey shows how the gospel equips us to be equally at home wherever the mission of God takes us, because we are always at home with the Lord. Hovey maintains Christians have not been told what to say, but have instead been shown how to speak. In this book he continues his emergence as one of the most profound and penetrating scrutinizers of what it means to speak, witness, and confess to the Christian faith. To read this book is a masterclass in learning to speak simple truth amid a cacophony of contemporary cleverness.”
