In this volume, Myles Werntz examines the work of John Howard Yoder, Dorothy Day, William Stringfellow, and Robert McAfee Brown, demonstrating how each thinker's advocacy for nonviolent resistance depends deeply upon the ecclesiology out of which it comes. The volume argues that any account of an ecclesially-informed resistance to war must be open to a multitude of approaches, not as pragmatic concessions, but as a foretaste of ecumenical unity.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Myles Werntz</note> <subject> <topic>Theology -- Doctrinal</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Ecclesiologie</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Peace -- Religious aspects -- Christianity</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">230.09</classification> <classification authority="ddc">W491-M100</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781451480429</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11524/20.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11524/20.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071027.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
