"A Field Guide to Christian Nonviolence will become the indispensable textbook that with relative simplicity introduces the varieties of pacifism to modern - especially Protestant - Christian audiences. This book will be featured in all my peace and war classes at both the undergraduate and seminary levels for years to come. Highly recommended." - David P. Gushee
