| Written for elementary age children (but of interest to teens and adults), this book contains the true stories of men and women who practiced returning good for evil. For some it meant martyrdom. For others it meant nursing sick refugees and giving them warm clothes. The 17 stories here are excellent for reading aloud. Copyright 1954. | |

| Subtitled The Victim's Journey Through the 15 Elements of Serious
Crime, this book is a rare insight into the fragmented world of the
crime victim. The book is written in an easy-to-read conversational
style. It organizes the crime victim detour into stages and elements
that most victims will encounter. Each chapter begins with a family-type
story to gently introduce the theme or the element. This is followed by
a description of the element, the underlying reasons for it (including
academic research), the consequences and then practical helps for
dealing with the element. The book is accessible and applicable for
anyone who has experienced a crime and for those who support them.
This book addresses the personal and justice issues encountered
after a violent act. Derksen, whose daughter was murdered, writes
especially for victims of crime, their friends and family and service
providers. Copyright 2003. | |

| What are the roots of human violence? Many theses seek to explain
societal rivalry, injustice, and scapegoating. Perhaps none is more
thorough or persuasive than Rene Girard's. Yet do his theories on
imitation, rivalry, violence, sacrifice, and religion find support in
Scripture? These scholarly essays engage this question at multiple
levels. Especially Girard's theories on sacrifice and imitation are
critically examined in these significant contributions to Girardian
scholarship which culminate in a response by Girard himself.
Addressed as well in Violence Renounced are kingship and servanthood,
the relation between the Testaments on sacrifice and atonement, and
such basic themes as the human primal nature, the shape of new creation
in Jewish and Christian reality, and feminist perspectives on Girardian
theory. Also seen in new light are standard beliefs and doctrines on
atonement, who/what killed Jesus, and how peace is to be rightly
achieved. Copyright 2000. | |

| Blessed Are the Pacifists: The Beatitudes and the Just War Theory | View shopping basket |

Cover...
| Thomas Trzyna takes a fresh look at pacifism as a way of life and
a practical method of conflict resolution that is grounded in the
Scripture, particularly, the Beatitudes form the Sermon on the Mount in
Matthew's gospel. Based on a study of just war theory and contemporary
world events, this book does not rehearse familiar debates about how to
justify war. Rather it approaches the topic from the provocative
angle that the work of peacemakers requires setting goals to be
measured in generations, not years. Copyright 2006 Herald Press | |
