Paperback. Condition: Good. Proclaim Peace examines what it means to follow the Prince of Peace in a world of violence. The book seeks not to promote any particular ideology, but rather to invite readers, especially the rising generation, to reflect seriously on the interpersonal, ethical, and social dimensions of Christian discipleship. As such, it represents a spiritual journey by two believing scholars of peace that analyzes scripture and breathes new life into familiar and beloved Restoration texts.The Restoration encompasses a rich, if somewhat underappreciated, theology of peace. The heart of that theology is captured in a few core ideas: all humans are inherently divine and eternally interrelated, enduring power can only be achieved through persuasion and love, conflict is built into creation and can be constructively transformed for godly purposes. In a world plagued by violence, it is easy to see it as an inescapable part of the human condition. But Mason and Pulsipher believe, with President Russell M. Nelson, that "peace is possible" in this world and that the "descendants of Abraham . . . are in a pivotal position to emerge as peacemakers." This book is an effort to lift up the Restoration's distinctive principles that invite its followers and friends to renounce violence and proclaim Christ's good news of love and peace to a world that desperately needs it.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Brand New!; These essays reveal how the scriptures, prophetic teachings, history, culture, rituals, and traditions of Mormonism have been, are, and can be used as warrants for a wide range of activities and attitudesfrom radical pacifism to legitimation of the United States' use of preemptive force against its enemies. As a relatively young religion that for much of its early history was simply struggling for survival, Mormonism has not yet fully grappled with some of the pressing questions of war and peace, with all of the attendant theological, social, and political ramifications. Given the LDS Church's relative stability and measure of prominence and influence in the early twenty-first century, the time is ripe to examine the historical, spiritual, and cultural resources within the tradition that provide a foundation for constructive dialogue about how individual Latter-day Saints and the institutional Church orient themselves in a world of violence. While recognizing the important contributions of previous scholars who had offered analysis and reflection on the topic, these essays offer a more sustained and collaborative examination of Mormon perspectives on war and peace, drawing on both historical-social scientific research as well as more normative (theological and ethical) arguments. "Mormons take their morality seriously. They are also patriotic. Tragically, the second trait can undermine the first. When calls for war are on the horizon, it is possible for well-intended Saints to be too sure of our selective application of scripture to contemporary matters of life and death, too sure that we can overcome evil by force, that we can control the results of military conflict, that war is the only option for patriots. Yet pacifism has its own critics. This collection of differing views by thoughtful scholars comprises a debate. Reading it may save us in the future from enacting more harm than good in the name of God, country, or presumption." - Philip Barlow, Arrington Chair of Mormon History and Culture, Utah State University, Author, Mormons and the Bible: The Place of the Latter-day Saints in American Religion Contributors:Patrick Q.
