The events of September 11, 2001, have stirred anew many old and enduring religious questions. Why does God permit evil? How should people of faith respond to violence, terror, and fear? Can peacemaking be patriotic?

These collected essays, articles, sermons, interviews, and letters reflect the heartthrob of Christian leaders and thinkers as they struggle with profound questions of faith and seek to be people of peace in a world of terror. As seeds of faith and hope sprouting from the rubble, their reflections guide individuals and groups searching for meaning and hope in the midst of terror. "Questions for Reflections and Discussion" and resource lists make this useful for Christian education classes.

Here more than seventy Christian leaders struggle with the events of September 11 and the aftermath of individual, community, national, and international response. The writers in this journal of faith call for hope and practical peacemaking, exploring biblical themes of forgiveness, enemy love, and nonviolence as alternatives to revenge and militant "justice" in reacting to terrorism.

"Although Eller's touch is light, his goal is sharply in focus: to let his reader to adopt such a faith in God and His sovereign providence that he is willing to defer to Him who is the Great Avenger, rather than to take things into his own hands as far as His Cause is concerned, including one's own welfare..."-J. C. Wenger.

by Paul Toews
paper, 448 pages, $19.95
This volume provides a rich interpretive story of how Mennonites have preserved their identity through the 20th century.

Paul Toews examines ways progressive Mennonites have slowed their absorption into American culture through creating institutional systems, refining and rearticulating ideologies, building ecumenical alliances, and developing a service and missional activism. Meanwhile, the Amish have formed a creative set of adaptive strategies that permit economic integration and social isolation.

An in-depth look at how Mennonites nad Amish were able to become a more visible and respected people than ever before during their more than 300 years in America. Volume 4.

Can a Christian conscientiously take part in a modern war, a war that would undoubtedly result in the utter annihilation of tens of thousands of innocent persons--possibly a large part of the entire human rase? There have been numerous books and propaganda pamphlets issued on this subject. Most of them are not Biblical in viewpoint.

It is the Biblical realism of this book that makes it such a deep and prophetic contribution to the subject. Christian theology should start from the scriptures.

The possibility of a nuclear holocaust has brought humankind into a radically new, unprecedented, and unanticipated religious situation. Gordon D. Kaufman offers a cogent and original analysis of this predicament, outlining specific proposals for reconceiving the central concerns and symbols of Christian faith. He beings with an account of a visit to the Peace Park in the rebuilt city of Hiroshima. Reflecting upon this experience, Kaufman foresees that further use of nuclear weapons will result not in rebuilding but in annihilation of the human enterprise.
