Recenzje

This is an important book. The author brings rigorous scholarship and profound insight to his analysis of Christian martyrdom, just war ethics, and the general problem of violence in the experience of people of faith. That this work was partly seeded in theological dialogue at the Faith and Order table should give readers confidence, not only in its comprehensive reading of historical and contemporary sources and examples, but also in its ecumenical sensitivities. For all of these reasons, the value of this book is undeniable.
