The events of September 11th, 2001, have stirred anew many enduring religious questions. Why does God permit evil? How should people of faith respond to violence, terror and fear? Can peacemaking be patriotic? These essays, article, sermons, interviews and letters echo the heartthrob of more than 70 leaders and thinkers struggling with profound issues of faith while seeking to be people of peace in a world of terror. As seeds of faith and hope sprouting from the rubble, their reflections guide individuals and groups searching for meaning. The writers explore biblical themes of forgiveness, enemy love, and nonviolence as alternatives to revenge and militant 'justice' in reacting to terrorism. The book includes discussion questions and resources for action.
