What happens when a five-century tradition of Christian pacifism no
longer needs Jesus to support nonviolence? Why does secularity
cause this dilemma for Mennonites in their theology of peace?
Layton Boyd Friesen offers an ancient theology and spirituality of
incarnation as the church's response to the non-resistance of
Christ. He explores three key aspects of von Balthasar's
Christology to help Mennonite peace theology regain its momentum in
the secular age with a contemplative union with Christ. This volume
argues that the way to regain a Christ-formed pacifism within
secularity is to contemplate and enter the mystery unveiled in the
Chalcedonian Definition of Christ, as interpreted by Hans Urs von
Balthasar. In this mystery, the believer is drawn into real-time
participation in Christ's encounter with the secular world.
