Overcoming Evil God's WayView

We live in a world wracked with violence and despair. Does that mean that every act of violence must be met with an equal or greater counterblow? Overcoming Evil God's Way asserts that the biblical message offers hope of repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation in place of hatred, vengeance, and fear. This book looks at both the historical and biblical evidence for the nonresistant lifestyle of the Christian.

Cover...
An ideal companion text for United States history survey courses, The Missing Peace contests the myth of redemptive violence that has formed the subtext of United States history courses for decades. The authors view U.S. history from the perspective of mutuality and interdependence. They set out to lay the foundation for a less violent future by remembering the events and the people who worked for nonviolent alternatives, whose stories have been passed over in much conventional historical writing. The Missing Peace is a highly readable book, with chapters focusing on each of the principal periods on United States history, from first contact with the native peoples to the Cold War era and the present day. The book is readily accessible to students and anyone interested in understanding our past and envisioning a more peaceful future.

Children
Anabaptist
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.

Violence
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.

Bible Study
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.
