Description: Paul's Non-Violent Gospel by Jeremy Gabrielson An insightful study of St Pauls commitment to peace and non-violence, exploring the personal, theological and political aspects of his advocacy of a way of life at odds with the dominant ideologies of his time. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Rather than viewing the Apostle Pauls many references to peace and non-retaliation as generalized ethical principles drawn from Pauls background, Jeremy Gabrielson argues that peace and non-retaliation should be understood in relation to Pauls history of being a violent persecutor of Jesus followers. After his Damascus road experience, Paul zealously announced the gospel and abandoned his violent ways. His apostolic vocation included calling and equipping assemblies of people whose common in life was ordered by a politics characterized by peaceableness. This political dimension of Pauls gospel, in continuity with the earliest evidence we possess regarding Jesus and his disciples, stands in stark contrast to the politics of both the contemporary Roman imperial power and those who would seek to replace Rome by violent means.
