This short book covers a lot of ground: the nonviolence of Jesus, the nonviolence of the early church, the origin of just war and its superseding the nonviolent tradition in much of Christianity, the "rediscovery" of nonviolence (especially in the Catholic tradition) and a summary of recent developments in Christian nonviolence. I found Rynne's book thought-provoking, inspiring and rooted in the real world.
