nonviolence a brief history the warsaw lectures
p few theologians have done as much as john howard yoder to articulate the case for christian pacifism . the eleven lectures collected in nonviolence a brief history were presented in 1983 in warsaw poland and this is their first publication together . p despite their apparent diversity the lectures trace a single trajectory the increasing relevance of nonviolent thought and action . they argue that nonviolence aligns with the inner logic of the world and therefore with human social existence . a quarter century after they were delivered yoders remarks seem prophetic heartfelt and essential . p for those unfamiliar with the life and thought of john howard yoder these lectures together with their accompanying brief contextualizing summaries provide an easily accessible introduction .
