This book argues that Christian nonviolence is both formed by and
forms ecclesial life, creating an inextricable relationship between
church commitment and resistance to war. Examining the work of John
Howard Yoder, Dorothy Day, William Stringfellow, and Robert McAfee
Brown, this book explores how each thinker's advocacy for
nonviolent resistance depends deeply upon the ecclesiology out of
which it comes. These forms comprise four strands of a
comprehensive Christian approach to a nonviolent witness rooted in
ecclesial life. Because each of these figures' ecclesiology
implicates a different mode of resistance to war and a different
relation between ecclesiology and resistance to war, the volume
argues that any account of an ecclesially-informed resistance to
war must be open to a multitude of approaches, not as pragmatic
concessions, but as a foretaste of ecumenical unity. Insofar as the
pursuit of peace in the world can be seen as a church bearing out
the work of the Spirit, the approach of other ecclesial traditions
can be seen not as competitors but as common works of the Spirit,
which other traditions may learn from and be challenged by.
