Peacemaking

St. Paul called on followers of Christ to be “ambassadors of reconciliation” in a world of violence and oppression. In reflections on this and other New Testaments texts, Ched Myers and Elaine Enns offer a lens for re-reading the entire biblical tradition as a resource for the cause of “restorative justice” and peacemaking.

Restorative justice refers to a social movement that seeks to repair interpersonal, communal, and social injustices without recourse to violence or retribution. This is the second of two volumes exploring a theology and practice of faith-rooted restorative justice and peacemaking.
