Theology

“In this challenging book, Cantey reminds us that loss of unity is a threat to the church as well as the state. His vigorous call for a renewed appreciation of the body of Christ will trouble some readers, but his championing of ecclesial solidarity and service to God and neighbor can help provide a corrective for the fragmented modern city.”

Speak Up for Just War or Pacifism

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Paul Ramsey offers a can-exploding critique of the particulars of the Methodist document and, in so doing, elaborates many of the broad insights into just war theory that have characterized his work over the years. His contrast of 'In Defense of Creation' with the Catholic Bishops' pastoral 'The Challenge of Peace' is especially helpful. The book is excellent both as a guide to current debates and as a general introduction to Christian ethical reflection on war and peace. It ought to be welcomed by pacifists and exponents of just war alike.”
