He asks how religious ideas can play a positive role in the midst of conflicts and disasters and argues that there are huge resources in the Christian tradition that can be productively deployed for a constructive and faithful response.TerrorismReligious aspectsChristianityViolenceReligious aspectsChristianityChurch and social problemsTerrorismReligious aspectsChristianity.ViolenceReligious aspectsChristianity.Church and social problems.261.8/73Forrester Duncan B.1933-727736MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910964009903321Apocalypse now4486868UNINA
