Hauerwas is a prominent and influential theological ethicist in the United States. Educated at Yale Divinity School, Hauerwas came under the influence of James Gustafson, one of the more well-known students of H. Richard Niebuhr. This contact distinctly discolored his perception of Niebuhr, despite his dependence upon The Meaning of Revelation and The Responsible Self. Later teaching at Notre Dame University, Hauerwas discovered John Howard Yoder's work, which builds on the work of Reinhold Niebuhr whom Hauerwas frequently criticizes, and has drawn upon it to question the modern philosophical foundations for just war thinking. Hauerwas has also been deeply influenced by Catholic philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre, who uses Thomist thought regarding virtue ethics to critique modern and postmodern culture. Helmut Richard Niebuhr (1894-1962) was an American Christian ethicist best known for his 1951 book Christ and Culture and his 1960 book Radical Monotheism and Western Culture. ... Karl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr (June 21, 1892 – June 1, 1971) was a Protestant theologian best known for his study of the task of relating the Christian faith to the reality of modern politics and diplomacy. ...

As a teacher and lecturer, Hauerwas is known for his wit, sharp criticisms of positions he disagrees with, breadth of reading, and (more than) occasional use of profanity, which he explains as being the result of having a brick-layer father. Hauerwas often wears jeans with his dress shirt and tie.

Hauerwas' theology is colored by a deep love of the church. As such, he speaks frequently at churches throughout North America, and gave the Slater-Maguire Lecture at St. Margaret's Anglican Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 2006.

Additionally, Hauerwas was influential in the formation of the Ekklesia Project, a multi-denominational Christian "think tank" and Renewal Movement, also supported by many of his former graduate students. Hauerwas, although a controversial figure, is well-loved by colleagues, former students and Church members alike. One of his most prominent former students is Gregory Jones, current Dean of the Divinity School of Duke University.^{[citation needed]}

• "One reason why we Christians argue so much about which hymn to sing, which liturgy to follow, which way to worship is that the commandments teach us to believe that bad liturgy eventually leads to bad ethics. You begin by singing some sappy, sentimental hymn, then you pray some pointless prayer, and the next thing you know you have murdered your best friend."[1]^{[verification needed]}
• "Consider the problem of taking showers with [Christians]. They are, after all, constantly going on about the business of witnessing in the hopes of making converts to their God and church. Would you want to shower with such people? You never know when they might try to baptize you." From "Why Gays (as a Group) are Morally Superior to Christians (as a Group)" in The Hauerwas Reader (2001) eds. John Berkman and Michael Cartwright
• "[W]e must first experience the kingdom if we are even to know what kind of freedom and what kind of equality we should desire. Christian freedom lies in service, Christian equality is equality before God, and neither can be achieved through the coercive efforts of liberal idealists who would transform the world into their image." From "The Servant Community: Christian Social Ethics" (1983) in The Hauerwas Reader (2001) eds. John Berkman and Michael Cartwright
