In Harm's Way: A History of Christian Peacemaker Teams
by Kathleen Kern £44.50
“‘In Harm’s Way’ is the remarkable story of Christian Peacemaker Teams: courageous groups of Christians willing to risk their own lives in non-violent actions that aim to advance peace and justice. Even those of us who are not pacifists will find this moving and honest story of work in such places as the Middle East, Haiti, and Central America compelling. It is a story that will push all Christians to serious thought about the cost of following Jesus in today’s world.” — C. Stephen Evans, University Professor of Philosophy and Humanities, Baylor University, and Jan E. Evans, Associate Professor of Spanish, Baylor University

Jonah, Jesus and Other Good Coyotes: Speaking Peace to Power in the Bible
by Daniel L Smith-Christopher £10.99
An original, powerful, and programmatic reading of the Bible that emphasizes the biblical call to peacemaking. Smith-Christopher shows us that biblical peacemaking recognizes and then crosses—or “runs”—borders. All too often, borders and other imaginary lines drawn between groups of people have a way of becoming the basis for conflict, bigotry, and ultimately, war. Danger signs are evident when people use “borders” to talk about the goodness of everyone within “our” border, and the evil of everyone “over there.” Modern social commentators use the phrase “the other” to refer to the tendency of human groups to develop a positive image of themselves by contrasting it with negative images of others. Smith-Christopher states that when this happens, it is important for us to remind ourselves that it is a profoundly biblical lesson that making peace between groups of people often requires that somebody must be willing to intentionally cross the “borders” that separate groups. In this book, he argues that the Bible teaches Christians that they are this somebody. Crossing boundaries is a biblical mandate, and the foundation of peacemaking.

Threatened with Resurrection: The Difficult Peace of Christ
by Simon Barrow £12.95
‘Threatened with Resurrection’ examines the traditional stand-off between ‘just-war’ theory and pacifism, and offers a radical alternative rooted in the Gospel. Simon Barrow explains why saying no to ‘war in God's name’ is a serious threat to those (both religious and non-religious) who persist in justifying the use of political violence. He present a serious and vividly illustrated case for a major shift in mainstream Christian understanding — one which signals fresh hope for all those who have come to see in religion the problem not the solution.
Come to the launch event on 26 November at the London Mennonite Centre. Prebooking essential. See Threatened with Resurrection for details
