In a culture obsessed with law, judgment, and violence, this book
challenges Christians to remember that Jesus urged his followers to
judge no one, bring harm upon no one, and follow no law save the
law of altruistic love. It traces Christian history first to show
that Christians of an earlier age took very seriously the gospel
injunctions against punitive legal judgment and then how the advent
of formal legal codes and philosophical dualism undermined that
perspective to create a division between a private Christian
spirituality and a public morality of order and legally sanctioned
violence. This historical approach is accompanied by an argument
that the recovery of a Christian ethic based upon unconditional
love and forgiveness cannot be accomplished without the renewal of
a Christian spirituality that mirrors the contemplative
spirituality of Jesus.
