Compassionate Justice

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“As with his earlier publications, such as Beyond Retribution, Marshall has given us a profound book in highly readable form. His blend of biblical scholarship and contemporary insights from the social sciences and humanities will be of interest not only to Christians but to others concerned about justice in today's world.”

Crime, Punishment, and Restorative Justice

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“London provides a comprehensive analysis and application of his argument, exploring its socio-biological basis and how it addresses the needs of victims, offenders, and society as a whole. He discusses the role of apology, forgiveness, restitution, rehabilitation, victim-offender dialogues and punishment within this framework. By identifying restoration of trust as the overarching goal of justice, we might be able to provide a realistic and comprehensive theory of sentencing, for all levels of crime.”

Integrating the New Science of Love and a Spirituality of Peace

Science & Faith

Foreword

“This book is about what it means to be human, and it may not be what you expect. Contemporary neuroscience is rapidly undermining some of our dearly held assumptions about who we are and how we function. This is not another idle academic conversation. These assumptions have been the basis of our educational and legal institutions, and changing them could have far-reaching consequences for how we structure our lives . . . How we see ourselves is an urgent moral issue. The implications of attachment theory are personal, social, and global, and that is why this book is so important.”

Portraits of Peace

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This book is for those who care about people and their stories and those who want to do the work of 'storycatching' themselves.”

The Fall of the Prison

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“A fundamental and comprehensive critique of not only prisons but also the ideology and history undergirding them. . . . Griffith does not stop at critique, however, but suggests some directions that faithfulness points in this jaded, tough-minded era in which we live.”

The War on Terrorism and the Terror of God

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The War on Terrorism and the Terror of God is an immensely poignant and profoundly prophetic book. The fact that it was written before the attacks of September 11 only adds to its power: it anticipates and provides a critical analytic framework for understanding most of the issues raised by these attacks, but does so without the 'skewing' of perspective that has affected the world in its aftermath.”

The Way of Letting Go

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“I have followed Wilma’s journey for years. It has been incredibly difficult, incredibly moving, and her insights incredibly profound. She has much to teach us all.”

Victim Meets Offender

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Here in one easily-accessible book is a summary of the key research finds in victim-offender mediation/reconciliation, coupled with practical suggestions for those operating or starting such programs.”
