David P. Gushee is Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics and Director of the Center for Theology and Public Life at Mercer University, and the author/editor of fifteen books in Christian ethics. He is widely considered one of the leading moral thinkers in evangelical Christianity.
"An important contribution to an increasingly vigorous dialogue on
the implications for Christians of Jesus' command to love our
enemies. Rigorous theology and powerful personal stories combine to
create a substantial addition to evangelical peacemaking."
--Ron Sider, President Emeritus, Evangelicals for Social Action
"Evangelical Peacemakers educates and equips followers of Jesus
about what it means to walk in the footsteps of the Prince of Peace
in a war-torn world. With diverse perspectives from leading
evangelicals, the book provides critical analysis and discussion
that help direct Christian understanding and action in pursuit of
global peace and justice. May this resource serve as a rallying cry
for evangelicals to be increasingly engaged with peace-building
efforts around the world!"
--Mae Elise Cannon, Author, Social Justice Handbook "I have seen
the principles of just peacemaking (outlined in this book)
transform communities, and I have become convinced that peacemaking
is the cutting edge of Christian discipleship for the twenty-first
century. This book offers a thoughtful starting point for anyone
willing to follow Jesus on the path of peacemaking."
--Lynne Hybels, Advocate for Global Engagement, Willow Creek
Community Church, Barrington, Illinois
