Stassen Rodney L. Petersen & Timothy A. Norton From all corners of the world, both in cities and in the remote countryside, the cry for “just peace” rings out loud and strong. But, as many note in this book, the cry for just peace isn’t enough, for just peace requires active faith, working hands, and willing hearts. Gathered in this volume are essays written from a wide variety of perspec- tives, religious traditions, nationalities, and ages (from a sixteen-year-old high school student to an eighty-four-year-old senior professor) that seek to offer insight toward answering one question: How are “just peacemaking,” faith formation, and discipleship connected within a twenty-first-century context? “This extraordinary collection of essays, reflecting wide and richly diverse faith-inspired roots, leads us toward a deep pool of shared wisdom. Just peace in a broken world is possible. The transformation from brokenness to healing and justice requires preparation, full-life engagement, and practical love. Within these pages theology comes alive, hands-on ethics walk and talk among us, and compas- sion radiates light on the pathway to recover our basic humanity.” —John Paul Lederach Professor of International Peacebuilding, Kroc Institute, University of Notre Dame “These collected essays speak to different contexts from different perspectives. Each explores how we shape and nurture individuals to work for just peace in a broken and fearful world. Together they provide a vision and concrete suggestions for making faithful disciples of the nonviolent, peacemaking Jesus in the twenty- first century.” —W.
