Evangelical Peacemakers

David P. Gushee

Paperback 2013-10-09

Publisher Description

"This book contains fifteen essays originally presented at a conference on evangelical Christianity and global peacemaking held at Georgetown University in September 2012, together with a critical analysis of the collection by the editor, David P. Gushee. The essays fall into two categories: the first four essays primarily engage theoretical issues in the ethics of war and peace, considering pacifism, just war, and just peacemaking approaches, all in contemporary US context. The other eleven essays offer glimpses into current evangelical peacemaking efforts being undertaken by individuals, congregations, parachurch organizations, and global evangelical bodies. The collection as a whole gives considerable attention to Christian-Muslim relations and offers a number of extraordinary accounts of evangelical peacemaking with Muslims and efforts to engage Islam as a living religious tradition. The concluding essay suggests that while evangelical peace and war thinking cannot escape the paradoxes and challenges that have always bedeviled Christian theorizing about war, contemporary evangelical peacemaking efforts reflect substantial progress in implementing the radical love of Jesus Christ in some of the most challenging contexts and conflicts in our world today. Contributors include: David P. Gushee Lisa Sharon Harper Eric Patterson Glen Stassen Geoff Tunnicliffe Mark C. Johnson Joseph Cumming Douglas M. Johnson Jr. David W. Shenk Lisa R. Gibson Sami Awad Bob Roberts Jr. David Beasley Jim Wallis Rick Love "
