A -how-to- book on theology from a world-renowned theologianIn this book Stanley Hauerwas returns to the basics of -doing- theology. Revisiting some of his earliest philosophical and theological views to better understand and clarify what he has said before, Hauerwas explores how theological reflection can be understood as an exercise in practical reason.
Hauerwas includes chapters on a wide array of topics, including -How I Think I Learned to Think Theologically, - -How the Holy Spirit Works, - -How to Write a Theological Sentence, - and -How to Be Theologically Funny.- In a postscript he responds to Nicholas Healy's recent book Hauerwas: A (Very) Critical Introduction.
-What we believe as Christians, - says Hauerwas, -is quite basic and even simple. But because it is so basic, we can lose any sense of the extraordinary nature of Christian beliefs and practices.- In discussing the work of theology, Hauerwas seeks to recover that -sense of the oddness of what we believe as Christians.-

The best Fellini collection on the US market
The collection is a bit pricey, but in this case you get what you pay for. These movies have all been restored beautifully, and the box is a delight.
The packaging is a fairly sturdy cardboard box. It is quite large, so you may have trouble fitting it onto a bookshelf. Mine protrudes about an inch past the end of my shelf. Inside the box is a large folio for the discs and two novel-sized books. One is a guide to each of the films, and the other is full of essays about Fellini and his work.
The movies all look great. The blu-ray upgrades look great compared to my old vhs or dvd copies of some of his works. There was a new restoration of all of these films right before the set came out, and it shows. The black and white contrast looks crisp and the color films really pop. As for the quality of the films, you know that some of these are considered top films of all time. The lesser films are still good to great. I think that all of these films are worth watching over and over, and all of them have great special features. All in all, this set is very much worth it, especially during the July sale. I bought it half price, and I feel I got an incredible bargain. All in all, this is probably the best Criterion box set. Don't hesitate, buy it.

Entrance to Fellini Heaven!
I don't think anyone needs to justify the greatness of Fellini as a director or Fellini movies as the greatest movies ever made. It is another thing to have most of his movies in one collection and be able to see them in the order they were produced.
Presently, I am in Fellini Heaven and Rota's music is in my head most of the day.
It is the greatest movie experience of my 84 year old life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
As far as packaging, I am not happy with the weird packaging of these movies. Storage is going to be a problem!
When package arrived as quickly as Prime usually delivers, I was disappointed to find two discs floating outside of their fastening. (I have played half of the collection and so far have not found a problem.)
I guess trying to fit all of these movies into a package is going to present a problem, so I might understand the decision to package them as they did. If the disks are O.K., I can live with the packaging.
Meanwhile, I truly love having most of his movies in one packaging and, thanks to Criterion, the most magnificent documentaries about each movie. Just with the movies I have seen, I feel a total connection with Fellini I never had before. I almost feel he is my spiritual godfather! Long live this genius!!!!

A must-have for any Fellini fan
When this was initially announced I was determined to add to my own library, however my economic situation at the time prevented me from buying it. It'd be a couple years before I finally had a little more financial freedom and ordered my copy. As noted in other reviews there was a common occurrence of discs coming loose from their little individual pocket and slide around free, potentially demanding the disc. This did happen to my order, but thankfully there was no damage. This a great collection, however there are a few exclusions that prevent me from giving it a full Five Star rating. His later films are not very good and feel like a great director falling into the pit of self parody. And the Ship Sails On is probably the worst of the entire collection. The disc devoted to a documentary on Marcello Mastroianni (which still haven't watched) seems like it's taking valuable space where an actual Fellini film should belong. I was hoping that they'd include Casanova, The Clowns, or even his last film, Voices of the Moon (which I still haven't seen). But that's the end of my minor quibble with these otherwise magnificent collection. I finally had in my possession all of his early films, a few a was seeing for the first time. I watched them in chronological order, beginning with Variety Lights, which he was actually a co-director and doesn't take much credit for. His early neorealist period was surprisingly good. I was so used to the period from Juliet of the Spirits onward that I thought I was going to be rather bored by these films. I was just happy to finally own a copy of Nights of Cabiria, which is still my favourite of his films. The collection also includes his contribution to an anthology film titled Spirits of the Dead, titled Toby Dammit. I was doubly surprised that it was not the dubbed version in which Terrance Stamp is dubbed by an anonymous Italian actor but retained his actual voice. The special features are plentiful and sound satisfy anyone who wants to appreciate the magic of Fellini. Criterion always puts out great quality releases and this is among their crowning achievements. Hopefully in the foreseeable future they'll release a box set of Luis Buñuel films.
