Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Defining just peace, finding space, building community through truth, forgiveness, and reconciliation, and restoring justice: this is the intent of this book, an invitation to journey through the wounds of humanity toward a working vision of God's shalom in life-enhancing relationships. Arising from intercultural and interdisciplinary perspectives, this book is held together by a concept and practice of justice that orients ethics.”

Theology

“Through an exploration into the lived theology of United Methodist Christians committed to nonviolence, Johnson draws us in a winsome way into the lives, beliefs, and practices that undergird such commitment and challenge all churches to take seriously their moral authority--a good read toward constructive dialogue around a difficult issue.”
