| Violence Renounced: Rene Girard, Biblical Studies, and Peacemaking | View shopping basket | |
| by Willard M. Swartley, editor | ||
|
paper, 344 pages, $23.95 | Add... | |
|
Related Items Bible Study | What are the roots of human violence? Many theses seek to explain
societal rivalry, injustice, and scapegoating. Perhaps none is more
thorough or persuasive than Rene Girard's. Yet do his theories on
imitation, rivalry, violence, sacrifice, and religion find support in
Scripture? These scholarly essays engage this question at multiple levels. Especially Girard's theories on sacrifice and imitation are critically examined in these significant contributions to Girardian scholarship which culminate in a response by Girard himself. Addressed as well in Violence Renounced are kingship and servanthood, the relation between the Testaments on sacrifice and atonement, and such basic themes as the human primal nature, the shape of new creation in Jewish and Christian reality, and feminist perspectives on Girardian theory. Also seen in new light are standard beliefs and doctrines on atonement, who/what killed Jesus, and how peace is to be rightly achieved. Copyright 2000. | |

| Loving Without Giving In: Christian Responses to Terrorism and Tyranny | View shopping basket | |
| by Ron Mock | ||
|
paperback, 276 pages, $22.95 | Add... | |
Cover... | How can Christians love their neighbors and their enemies at the same time? What if the enemies are terrorists and tyrants, and the neighbors include the people they terrorize or tyrannize? Can governments be terrorists? Or only individuals? Is there a Golden Rule for nations? These are among the many urgent questions addressed in Loving Without Giving In. Stopping terrorists and bringing down tyrants is a God-given duty for those called to love their neighbors all over the world. Yet fighting violence with violence is counterproductive in the long run and incompatible with loving enemies in the short run. This book draws from Scripture-including its contributions to views of holy war and just war as well as pacifism-plus the best thinking of peace scholars to analyze the global situation post-9-11.

| Creating the Beloved Community: A Journey with the Fellowship of Reconciliation | View shopping basket | |
| by Paul R. Dekar | ||
|

| This history of the Fellowship of Reconciliation in the United
States shows that FOR members have been practical dreamers, both
imagining a more peaceful world and working to realize the dream. FOR
has inspired and empowered generations of peacemakers working to
replace cultures of violence and war with cultures of nonviolence.
Creating the Beloved Community grows out of the author's 40-year
involvement with the peace movement, including experience as a founder
of the peace studies program at McMaster University. Dekar has combined
personal acquaintance with FOR and careful research to produce a
history both passionate and thorough. Copyright 2005 Cascadia Publishing House | ||

| The Sound of Sheer Silence and the Killing State: The Death Penalty and the Bible | View shopping basket | |
| by Millard Lind | ||
|
paperback, 188 pages, $18.95 | Add... | |
Cover... Related Items Death Penalty | This book unambiguously opposes capital punishment as the immoral
act of "the killing state." Lind traces Yahweh's saving action and
steadfast love for Israel and the world from Moses to Elijah to Jesus,
and shows how they are to be emulated on the societal level by
obedience to covenant law. This leads to his conclusion that capital
punishment is to be opposed because from the perspective of the God
revealed in the Bible-determined in Lind's view by the careful reading
of the text he has attempted here-capital punishment is simply wrong.

| Separation and the Sword in Anabaptist Persuasion: Radical Confessional Rhetoric from Schleitheim to Dordrecht | View shopping basket | |
| by Gerald Biesecker-Mast | ||
|
paperback, 312 pages, $22.95 | Add... | |

| Seeking Cultures of Peace: A Peace Church Conversation | View shopping basket | |
| by Fernando Enns, Scott Holland and Ann K. Riggs, editors | ||
|
paperback, 252 pages, $22.95 | Add... | |
Cover... Related Items Theology Africa Paraguay | This book shares some of the new conversation between members of
the Historic Peace Churches (Mennonites, Quakers, and Brethren) as they
reflect on their theology in light of the World Council of Churches'
current Decade to Overcome Violence. It includes updated presentations
rooted in a historic gathering of theologians of these three
traditions, in Switzerland in 2001, at the beginning of the Decade.
Offered are fresh readings of biblical and theological concepts as well
as reflection on contemporary challenges and opportunities. These 16 chapters plus other materials examine theological understandings in the light of current world realities. This includes reflection on the reality of globalized culture and structures of power, and on the role of national histories. Chapters also reflect on identity and context and how these shape understandings of peace. Authors look at biblical models of peacemaking but also explore the way concepts of land and place, in Christian and in other faith traditions, contribute to peace. Reflection from a variety of contexts, including Nigeria, Korea, Colombia, Paraguay, the British Isles and North America, adds richness to the collection. Copyright 2004 Cascadia Publishing House | |
