The Unconquerable World

Power, Nonviolence And The Will Of The People

BY JONATHAN SCHELL
The author of The Fate of the Earth looks at the history of violence up to the summit of madness - nuclear stalemate. He then also looks at the equally powerful but less well-known history of nonviolent methods of confronting power and bringing about change at every level of the political and international spectrum. He then suggests ways, based on this history, to move to a lasting world peace.

The War Of The Lamb

The Ethics Of Nonviolence And Peacemaking

BY JOHN HOWARD YODER
Before his death, he planned the essays and structure of this book, which he intended to be his last work. Now two leading interpreters of Yoder bring that work to fruition. The book is divided into three sections: pacifism, just war theory, and just peacemaking theory. The volume crystallizes Yoder's argument that his proposed ethics is not sectarian and a matter of withdrawal. He also clearly argues that Christian just war and Christian pacifist traditions are basically compatible--and more specifically, that the Christian just war tradition itself presumes against all violence.
