The classical just war criteria were helpful in a world of soldiers in uniforms with negotiated holidays. But just war no longer proves helpful in a world where small bands of terrorists with modest bundles of cash can do unspeakable terror to unarmed civilians. In this new world, war itself has become dysfunctional. What are the theological, political, and programmatic bases needed to become a peacemaking church? A Just Peace Church seeks to locate a position between pacifism and just war.

Hopkins, Denise Dombkowski

From the rear cover: "Whether in friendship, marriage, or family living, intimacy involves a capacity to be close and an ability to be distant, to be open and to set boundaries. An intimate relationship is one in which one can be warmly personal while remaining one's own person. 'Fear' says Henri Nouwen, 'is the great enemy of intimacy.' Fear causes one to keep a safe distance or an overly safe closeness. Both hinder the ability to be truly intimate. Dr. Hanna will suggest ways to be playfully close and respectfully distant. Types of intimacy and expressions of false intimacy are discussed. This resource includes a combined leader's guide and student text."
