Riassunto:

&;John Dear on Peace is not intended to capture all that John&;s writings teach. This is simply an introduction to an authentic gospel approach to peace, a way of active nonviolence that John lives and invites others to enter. Each reflection leads readers to the books from which the material is taken.&;&;From the Introduction After meeting Jesuit activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee John Dear on a peace pilgrimage, Patricia Normile was inspired by his tireless and courageous work for peace. Her great desire to spread John&;s message&;the message of Jesus in the Gospel&;led her to compile selections from Dear&;s impressive backlist of books and articles. In John Dear on Peace, Normile introduces the man, John Dear, and focuses on selections from his most relevant statements on living a nonviolent life. Each selection is followed by a brief reflection to engage us to act on Jesus&;&;and Dear&;s&;call to peace and nonviolence. An ideal resource for individuals, book clubs, Scripture study groups and faith-sharing communities, John Dear on Peace will provoke thoughtful discussion and prayer and surely help anyone seeking insights on the many weighty issues facing us today.
