Nonviolence

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Nonviolence will challenge you as it did me. Sprinkle goes after the most difficult biblical issues involving Christian nonviolence. The book speaks passionately to the ‘problem,’ especially within the conservative side of evangelicalism, of nonviolence. More specifically, it seems that the more conservative one’s Christian position, the more hawkish they tend to be. This should not be so. Those who want to be peacemakers will be empowered by the freshness and vigor Sprinkle brings to the subject. As a war veteran and now as a Christian, I recommend reading this new effort to reconcile the problem of violence with the peaceable kingdom to which Jesus seems to repeatedly allude.”
