War Peace And Christianity
$27.99The authors speak from a just-war moral perspective to provide Christians with expert and accessible answers to more than one hundred common questions concerning the ethics of war. With issues of war and peace at the forefront of current events, an informed Christian response is needed. This timely volume answers 105 questions from a just-war perspective, offering thoughtful yet succinct answers. Ranging from the theoretical to the practical, the volume looks at how the just-war perspective relates to the philosopher, historian, statesman, theologian, combatant, and individual-with particular emphases on its historical development and application to contemporary geopolitical challenges. Forgoing ideological extremes, Charles and Demy give much attention to the biblical teaching on the subject as they provide moral guidance. A valuable resource for considering the ethical issues relating to war, Christians will find this book’s user-friendly format a helpful starting point for discussion.

Retrieving The Natural Law
$39.99In a pervasive and persuasive culture that seems intractable in its denial of enduring moral wisdom, too often ordinary men and women are left unassisted in making moral judgments. J. Daryl Charles points out that this has not been the general rule in the last two millennia. Instead, precisely the opposite has been assumed, so that theologians, philosophers, scientists and lay people all agreed that certain moral principles are the same for all people of all times. Restating what all people intuit and what this means in moral – specifically bioethical – discourse is the raison d’etre for this volume. Retrieving the Natural Law argues that a traditional metaphysics of natural law lies at the heart of the present reconstructive project, and that a revival in natural-law thinking must be a highest priority for the Christian community as we contend in, rather than abdicate, the public square. Nowhere is this more on display that in the realm of bioethics where the most basic of moral questions – human personhood, human rights versus responsibilities, suffering, the reality of moral evil, and others – are being debated. With his timely application of natural-law thinking to the realm of bioethics, Charles seeks to breathe new life back into this key debate.

Between Pacifism And Jihad
$28.99IVP Print On Demand Title
Pacifism. Jihad. Militarism.
Are these our only alternatives for dealing with global injustice today?
J. Daryl Charles leads us to reconsider a Christian view of the use of force to maintain or reestablish justice. He shows how love for a neighbor can warrant the just use of force. Reviewing and updating the widely recognized but not necessarily well-understood just-war teaching of the church through the ages, Charles shows how it captures many of the concerns of the pacifist position while deliberately avoiding, on the other side, the excesses of jihad and militarism. Aware of our contemporary global situation, Charles addresses the unique challenges of dealing with international terrorism.

1-2 Peter Jude
$34.998 Chapters
Additional Info
“Combines scholarly approaches to these neglected books with clear exposition and timely application. Use of Anabaptist sources will appeal to a wide audience: preachers, students, and church folk. We applaud the volume heartily.” – Ralph P. Martin, Distinguished Scholar in Residence, Fuller Theological Seminary..Erland Waltner, Elkhart, Indiana, a seminary professor and church leader, explains how 1 Peter applies Jesus’ teaching on loving the enemy to believers in Asia Minor. Peter empowers them to be communities of hope, not retaliating for abuse they suffer, but bearing witness to their Lord by word, lifestyle, and doing good.
J. Daryl Charles, Taylor University, Upland, Indiana, shows how 2 Peter and Jude are relevant since the church still faces ethical compromises and pastoral dilemmas. The apocalyptic imagery stresses that the concerns of Christian faithfulness and faith are crucial. The church needs such moral exhortation.
“Solid biblical exposition in a reader-friendly format. Offers careful and detailed analysis of these books in clear, accessible language. Quotes Anabaptists working out understandings of faith under intense suffering. Valuable for pastors, Sunday school teachers, and serious students.” – Dorothy Jean Weaver, Professor Of New Testament, Eastern Mennonite Seminary
“This volume redeems 1-2 Peter and Jude for the church today. Waltner shows that 1 Peter is a letter of encouragement to those being persecuted for their faith because they are living by a Christian ethic in their stations in life. Charles sees 2 Peter and Jude as emphasizing right living, orthopraxis.” – David Schroeder, Professor Emeritus, Canadian Mennonite Bible College
