| Résumé : |
Is there a path to peace for a world at the brink of nuclear war?
Proponents of unilateral disarmament hope that the Soviets will follow that example. Those in favor of nuclear superiority risk heightened cold-war tensions and the possibility of a horrifying accident. However, there are other options worth considering. In May 1983, for the first time since the splitting of the atom, a large group of evangelicals met to address the issue of nuclear weapons and war. The Church and Peacemaking in the Nuclear Age: A Conference on Biblical Perspectives offered mutual sharing of knowledge and insights from many different political persuasions to bring about a biblically sound, Christ-honoring response to the nuclear-age facts of life and death. From that very significant conference comes this book, which offers the same balance. Inside are the personal statements of sixteen respected Christian leaders. Building upon a strong biblical foundation, each chapter presents a differing approach to the task of reconciling the realities of today's world situation to the principles of Christianity, brotherhood and peace. Is there a common ground where Christians can meet and work together for peace? Perspectives on Peacemaking's essential reading for you and every other concerned believer. |
