Excellent reflection of the words and actions of Jesus in consideration of Christian non-violence

Revisado: 01-23-24

Fleischer makes and thoughtful and thorough argument for Christian non-violence by examining the actions and words of Christianity’s most important figure. He carefully considers some of the common arguments that Christian’s use to justify violence and holds those arguments up to scripture. I appreciated his use of different hermeneutical understandings of scripture. He did not simply limit his argument to his own preferred interpretation of scripture (in fact he doesn’t disclose a preferred interpretation), but instead makes his argument including multiple ways people understand the text. It would be difficult to read this book with an open mind and not at least be convicted if not convinced that non-violence is the way of Jesus.
