Things that make for peace : a Christian peacemaker in a world of war / Peter B. Price. - xiv, 225 pages

Price explores what it means to respond to the biblical call to ‘seek peace … and pursue it’ (Psalm 34:14). What is required of Christians today in the light of the increasing number of wars, insurgencies, holocausts and genocide, is a deeper understanding of what true peacemaking costs, and an answer to the question: ‘Can Christianity continue to sanction war?’ ...
