Christians respond in many ways to
threat of war. Too often that response is fired by prejudice,
by "widely-held opinions," and particularly by fear.
In this book David Atkinson lays out some of the theological
groundwork needed for an exploration of Christian ways of
establishing justice and making peace.
This book does not talk military or
venture into political decisions or tell anyone how to think or how
to vote. Instead, in a clear and sensible manner, it sketches
out some Christian theological themes that should have relevance for
ordinary Christians who want to think through a biblical approach to
this very important and timely issue.
