Why does secularity cause this dilemma for Mennonites in their theology of peace? Layton Boyd Friesen offers an ancient theology and spirituality of incarnation as the church's response to the non-resistance of Christ. He explores three key aspects of von Balthasar's Christology to help Mennonite peace theology regain its momentum in the secular age with a contemplative union with Christ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume argues that the way to regain a Christ-formed pacifism within secularity is to contemplate and enter the mystery unveiled in the Chalcedonian Definition of Christ, as interpreted by Hans Urs von Balthasar. In this mystery, the believer is drawn into real-time participation in Christ's encounter with the secular world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Layton Boyd Friesen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0567704041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780567704047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Layton Boyd Friesen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44190912545023,"sku":"9780567704047","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d33fc3bf-1282-4c43-a0f5-1f4e35767307.jpg?v=1690873022","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/secular-nonviolence-and-the-theo-drama-layton-boyd-friesen-9780567704047","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
