Hypocrisy

Our Forum discussion this Sunday will be over Matthew 21-23,which includes a polemic against the Pharisees for their hypocrisy.

In my study of this passage, I came across this quote by Stanley Hauerwas:

"We should remember that hypocrisy is morally ambiguous. The hypocrite at least keeps alive what they and we should be. Indeed, hypocrisy can be considered a moral achievement because hypocrites are just truthful enough to have the resources to condemn themselves."

Now what do you think of that?
