No More Cheeks to Turn?

Agang, Sunday Bobai

When a Christian has “turned the other cheek” and been slapped on both, what options remain? Is it appropriate to respond with violence (sometimes disguised as self-defense), or does Christ hold us to a different standard?

How should Christians respond to violence against them? In this practical, Christ-centered book Sunday Agang recounts his own journey from being an angry young pastor eager for revenge to being a peacemaker. He writes about the use and abuse of Scripture in the context of violence and points to Christ as our supreme example. The book also contains many examples of ordinary people working out their theology of peace in practice. Study questions encourage us to reflect on our own experiences of violence and to develop creative strategies for responding to violence without compromising the kingdom values by which we live. The book is intended for pastors and young adults.
