| Title: | | For the Peace of the Whole World: Five Bible Studies on Just Peacemaking | |
| | Description: | A leader's guide for those who wish to reflect on the biblical basis for peacemaking and end societal violence. It contains personal letters, commentaries, activities and stories of real people who overcome violence and injustice through God's grace. A series of five Bible studies invites women and men to explore five elements of a proposed "just peace" theology. Titled For the Peace of the Whole World: Five Bible Studies on Just Peacemaking, the resource offers five studies, each opening with an exchange of letters. Biblical texts that form the basis of the just peace theology are examined and a variety of activities is suggested: role plays, guided meditations, collective visioning, nonviolent dialogues with "the enemy," and work in clay. Also included is a collection of short stories about Lutheran women who illustrate each of the tenets of the theology. | | Sponsor: | Church in Society | | Code/ISBN: | 6000058136 | | Order from: | Augsburg Fortress,
