THE THEOLOGY OF THE HAMMER
Fuller, Millard
Smyth & Helwys, 1994
154 pages

The founder and leader of Habitat for Humanity lays out his understanding of faith, poverty and homelessness, which now drives this worldwide home building ministry that he founded in 1976. He acknowledges his dependence on the Bible and the influences of Dorothy Day, Clarence Jordan, Thomas Merton, Henry Nouwen, Walter Rauschenbusch and Albert Schweitzer. His book is a combination of spiritual biography, Scripture, stories and organizational development. He acknowledges scores of people as he weaves his theology together. Pictures add to the variety and richness. Appendixes include organizational values and principles, a covenant and guidelines. This is a wonderful story of Christian faith translated into action and service.
