Title: Not what I had hoped for
Review: I read this book hoping to hear a well thought out and biblically based reason for pacifism. I was let down. I felt that the author began with the innate assumption that Christians should be anti-war, and then used very little scripture (which was often taken completely out of context) to support his claim. It seemed to be much more of an appeal to emotion, rather than a conclusion that follows from reading the Bible. I also felt that this book should have addressed some of the counterarguments to pacifism. It didn't. I really believe that the author had the agenda of pushing pacifism, and was hoping that the reader wouldn't take the time to critically analyze his suppositions and arguments.I would instead recommend reading some of the works of John Howard Yoder, which seem to be much more thought out and supported.
