Table of ContentsReviewsYou may feel, as I do, that Christianity is at a historic crossroads, choosing between the 'two masters' of violence and nonviolence. In stark and sane contrast to those who defend and even promote violence in the name of God, Christ, and the Bible, Eric Seibart's Disarming the Church represents the state of the art in accessible Christian scholarship regarding nonviolence. It should be required reading for every pastor, seminarian, and Christian of conscience, especially in a country whose capacity for catastrophic violence is unprecedented in history. --Brian D. McLaren, Author of The Great Spiritual Migration Violence is one of the most pressing concerns of our time. Particularly troubling is the violence espoused and expressed by people of various faith traditions, Christianity in particular. Eric Seibert has written a bold, provocative, and prophetic book that critiques Christianity's stance on and contribution to violence in our world. He also shows us how to become non-violent ourselves. Everyone who is serious about ushering in the reign of God must read this stunning book! --Carol J. Dempsey, Professor of Theology at University of Portland, Oregon """You may feel, as I do, that Christianity is at a historic crossroads, choosing between the 'two masters' of violence and nonviolence.
