The Gospel of Peace in a Violent World - Christian Nonviolence for Communal Flourishing Résumé

The Gospel of Peace in a Violent World - Christian Nonviolence for Communal Flourishing Shawn Graves

Blessed are the peacemakers. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news of peace: peace between God and humanity, peace among humans. And yet it can be difficult to see that peace in our broken, violent world. In this volume, Shawn Graves and Marlena Graves have gathered contributions from theologians, pastors, and practitioners on the importance and implementation of Christian nonviolence in today's world. The vision they cast not only responds to the realities of war and conflict but also offers a broader, deeper understanding of peace that addresses topics such as race, gender, disability, immigration, the environment, food scarcity, and more-a holistic shalom that is evidence of God's presence. May it be so.
