How should Christians respond to violence against them? In this practical, Christ-centered book Sunday Agang recounts his own journey from being an angry young pastor eager for revenge to being a peacemaker. He writes about the use and abuse of Scripture in the context of violence and points to Christ as our supreme example. The book also contains many examples of ordinary people working out their theology of peace in practice. Study questions encourage us to reflect on our own experiences of violence and to develop creative strategies for responding to violence without compromising the kingdom values by which we live. The book is intended for pastors and young adults.
When a Christian has "turned the other cheek" only to be slapped on the other, what options remain? How should Christians respond to violence against them?
These are not questions Sunday Agang takes lightly, for he has lost family and friends to violence in his home country of Nigeria. He understands what it is to be angry and want revenge. In this book he tells of his own journey from an angry young pastor to a peacemaker. The questions Dr Agang asks throughout are intended to help Christians understand the practical implications of a Christ-centred theological response to violence.
