xiv, 304 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. edited by Jim Wallis. Here is a grass-roots handbook of arguments and strategies for the struggle against nuclear weapons. Waging Peace presents a battery of convincing essays and testimony-ethical, medical political, eco nomic, and theological-from some of the foremost thinkers of our day. Together they point the way for all who refuse to sit by while gov ernment policy heedlessly brings us closer to global devastation. Waging Peace expresses the strong voice of growing numbers of people within the religious community who oppose nuclear war as a matter of conscience and have moved to the front rank of the resistance Waging Peace provides a moral perspective on the issues and an edu cational resource reflecting the best of both political and theological thinking Bringing all these materials together, and drawing upon key spokes persons from a variety of backgrounds, Jim Wallis forges an agenda for immediate personal and collective action to stop the arms race mad ness now. Resources include lists of national peace organizations, ro search groups, books, publications, audiovisual materials, and a map showing nuclear facilities across the United States. The authors carefully sift through the hysteria and official double talk to face the real issues and inescapable consequences of nuclear weaponry; they then propose realistic ways to meet the challenge on a variety of fronts. Waging Peace demonstrates that nuclear arms pro liferation can no longer be regarded as a mere abstract political issue but instead presents us with both a crisis of survival and a matter of faith. Waging Peace is a summons to united, broad-based action to abolish nuclear arms and make peace.
