The book reads like an extended lament by a liberal Christian thinker who is bemoaning at length the fact that religious opposition to Bush Administration policies has been "largely ignored." In a mere 112 pages, Long's essay provides an extensive argument illustrating why this remains the case. The book ultimately finds a spirit generous enough to blame the United States, not Al Qaeda's continuing campaign of terrorism, for the deterioration of the human condition since September 2001. . . . Long strains to convince us that it is the war policy of the U.S. that brings closer the day that nuclear, or biological, attack on an American city will occur. This pose is sure to convince those who already believe in Long's assumptions, and few others.
In this timely, brief, and judicious reflection, Edward Long, a senior scholar in Christian ethics, surveys the political, religious, and moral dimensions of terrorism. Written accessibly and going far beyond the dominant war versus pacifism discussion, Facing Terrorism guides Christians through the many questions and controversies surrounding this horrific phenomenon. From defining terrorism and analyzing its causes to exploring the risks of eroding civil liberties in protecting against terrorism and living hopefully amidst fear, Long provides a thoughtful and informative analysis that will aid countless Christians in discerning how to respond to terrorism.
