The exploration of Christian nonviolence highlights its deep connection with ecclesial life, emphasizing the relationship between church commitment and war resistance. Myles Werntz analyzes influential thinkers like John Howard Yoder, Dorothy Day, William Stringfellow, and Robert McAfee Brown, illustrating how their nonviolent advocacy is rooted in their ecclesiology. The book posits that a comprehensive view of church-informed resistance to war should embrace diverse approaches, reflecting a vision of ecumenical unity rather than mere pragmatic compromises.
