Meet Rev. John Dear as he signs your books at Wisdom House.

The Gospel of Peace by Rev. John Dear is the first ever commentary on the Synoptic Gospels from the perspective of active nonviolence, in the tradition of Gandhi and Dr. King. In this new and original work, John walks us through every line of the three synoptic Gospels pointing out Jesus’ practice and teachings of nonviolence each step of the way and invites us to become practitioners of creative nonviolence like Jesus. John Dear’s Jesus is like Gandhi and Dr. King—nonviolent to the core, a disarming, healing presence toward those in need and a revolutionary disrupter of the unjust status quo and a political threat to the ruling authorities who succeed in killing him, only to push Jesus to the heights of nonviolence through his death and resurrection. This original commentary brings a fresh new approach to the Gospels that will help us all to carry Jesus’ global campaign of nonviolence for justice, disarmament and creation.

Copies of The Gospel of Peace will be available for purchase at Wisdom House in the bookstore before and at the event.

Registration is FREE.
