A comprehensive survey of two thousand years of Christian voices for peace. 

These extraordinary documents, which bear witness to the Christian commitment to peace across time, clarify that nonviolence is not a mere exception it is at the very heart of what it means to be a follower of Christ . . . I cannot imagine that Christian Peace and Nonviolence will not become an essential teaching resource not only for thinking through nonviolence but also for understanding the very character of Christianity .
