Shows how many individuals like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Dorothy Day have taken the example of the Nonviolent Christ as their guide for living and working justly and courageously in the world. Offers suggestions for incorporating peace, compassion and justice at home, in relationships, and as part of the political process.
This tried to be a complete introduction to Christian nonviolence. In short chapters, it looked at everything from a rejection of violence in the Gospels to nonviolent principles in political discourse, from personal conflict resolution to corporate exploitation. This felt too basic for someone who has been involved in Christian nonviolence for some time and not thorough enough for someone new to the concept. 2.5 stars
