The World at War, The Church at Peace: A Biblical Perspective

This resource is designed to go back to first principles, the biblical record, to establish a theology and rationale for the role of the Christian peacemaker in the world today. The nine chapters treat a wide variety of topics including such crucial themes as:

• Old and New Testament teachings on violence
• Christian teachings on church/state relationships
• Individual Christians and the state
• Power and weakness in the New Testament
• War and the early church
• Exegesis of troublesome passages on the topic of violence

The material was originally prepared for an adult Sunday School class and is designed for personal study and group discussion.
