Enns proposes that both Christian ethics and ecclesiology need to be based on a trinitarian view of God as creator of the world, incarnated in Christ, and present in the Holy Spirit, urging all Christian churches to heed the call to peace and nonviolence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"We are indebted to Fernando Enns for providing a compelling case for the historic peace church to take up its responsibility within the ecumenical context, and for stirring our imagination to think of other contexts in which to engage the church and the world in witness to peace, justice and nonviolence.\" - \u003ci\u003eMennonite Quarterly Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helmut Harder, Fernando Enns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1894710789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781894710787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pandora Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Helmut Harder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45331882868991,"sku":"9781894710787","price":29.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d8f47192-89a6-4de2-b9e8-65e0ba1a3c2e.jpg?v=1713971138","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-peace-church-and-the-helmut-harder-9781894710787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
