BookPublisher: Minneapolis Fortress Press 2014Description: ix, 314 pages ; 23 cm.ISBN: 9781451480429 (pbk. : alk. paper); 1451480423 (pbk. : alk. paper).Subject(s): Nonviolence -- Religious aspects -- Christianity | Pacifism -- Religious aspects -- ChristianityDDC classification: W497 Summary: "Bodies of peace argues that Christian nonviolence is both formed by and forms ecclesial life, creating an inextricable relationship berween church commitment and resistance to war. In this volume, Myles Werntz examines the work of John Howard Yoder, Dorothy Day, William Stringfellow, and Robert McAfee Brown, demonstrating how each thinker's advocacy for nonviolent resistance depends deeply upon the ecclesiology out of which it comes. The volume argues that any account of an ecclesially-informed resistance to war must be open to a multitude of approaches, not as pragmatic concessions, but as a foretaste of ecumenical unity"--Page 4 of cover.
