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. Copyright 2002. | |
