Nonviolent God
$32.99Add to cartThis bold new statement on the nonviolence of God challenges long-standing assumptions of divine violence in theology, the violent God pictured in the Old Testament, and the supposed violence of God in Revelation. In The Nonviolent God J. Denny Weaver argues that since God is revealed in Jesus, the nonviolence of Jesus most truly reflects the character of God.
According to Weaver, the way Christians live — Christian ethics — is an ongoing expression of theology. Consequently, he suggests positive images of the reign of God made visible in the narrative of Jesus — nonviolent practice, forgiveness and restorative justice, issues of racism and sexism, and more — in order that Christians might live more peacefully.

Nonviolent Atonement Second Edition (Revised)
$33.99Add to cartOffers a nonviolent paradigm for understanding salvation
A provocative study that cuts to the very heart of Christian thought, The Nonviolent Atonement explores the nature and history – and the inherent shortcomings – of the classic Christian understanding of the doctrine of atonement.
J. Denny Weaver exposes the intrinsically violent dimensions of the traditional, Anselmian satisfaction atonement view and offers instead a thoroughly nonviolent paradigm for understanding atonement based on the concept of “narrative Christus Victor.” He challenges essentially violent assumptions that justice depends on retribution and that passive, innocent submission to violence is essential for atonement.
