Description

"In Peace on Earth Joseph Grassi emphasizes the practical means Jesus suggests to make peace a reality. He focuses on the roots of peace and justice found in the nonviolent and compassionate life and teachings of Jesus." "Grassi teaches that Luke's summary of Jesus' teaching in the "Sermon on the Plain" has a central place as a practical guide for believers to develop a life of peace and nonviolence in imitation of Jesus as a nonviolent Messiah. Luke's Jesus goes to the roots of true peace show more through the practice of nonviolence, love, compassionate justice, true repentance, and forgiveness."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
