註釋
If Christians follow the Prince of Peace, why do they often behave so violently? What can be done to transform the church so that it looks more like Jesus?
Eric Seibert explores these questions in this important and timely study. He builds a biblical and practical case for living nonviolently in
all
areas of life and urges Christians to reexamine their most fundamental attitudes toward violence, warfare, and killing.
Through true stories and careful analysis, Seibert demonstrates that it
is
possible to resolve conflict, correct injustice, and stop oppression
without
resorting to violence. Many nonviolent alternatives are discussed throughout the book, alternatives that can be used in a wide range of situations, from dealing with an unwanted intruder at home to removing a dictator from power.
In a world filled with so much violence, hate, and fear, alternatives like these are desperately needed. This book offers hope that a better way is possible, one that has the potential to transform the church and change the world. So read on and join in!
