About this title

From the Inside Flap:

"Donald B. Kraybill works through an extensive list of Jesus' teaching against violence and concludes that 'the message of Jesus is clear. The use of violence, whether physical or emotional, is not God's way. Jesus shows us how to absorb suffering, not inflict it.'

"Jesus' call to love the enemy slices through the issues with simplicity and clarity. . . . Jesus calls us to faithfulness; to faithfully embody God's loving forgiveness."
