About this title

Synopsis

In this second of two volumes that offer a theology and practice of restorative justice and peacemaking, longtime activists and animators Elaine Enns and Ched Myers bring together the theory as well as the people who practice “full-spectrum” peacemaking.

In Ambassadors of Reconciliation II Elaine Enns and Ched Myers analyze the contemporary terrain of restorative justice and peacemaking in North America and profiles the exemplary work of nine individuals who live out the scriptural vision in real-life contexts of profound violence and injustice. Among the stories: A convicted drunk driver who dedicates his life to saving lives; the mother of a murder victim who becomes a leading opponent of the death penalty; Christian peacemakers who have risked their lives in Iraq; and Native American leaders who have adopted nonviolent methods to overcome ancient wrongs.
