Jesus the Pacifist: A Concise Guide to His Radical Nonviolence

“Easy-to-read and compellingly argued … masterfully demonstrated … a treasure trove of insights …” – Gregory A. Boyd (from the Foreword)

Have you ever struggled to reconcile Jesus’s commands to not resist evil, turn the other cheek, and love your enemies with his use of a whip to clear the temple, his praise for the Roman centurion, his command to the disciples to buy swords, and his frequent warnings of violent judgment, not to mention Revelation’s prophecy that he will eventually return to kill God’s enemies with a sword?

In Jesus the Pacifist, Fleischer provides a systematic, biblically based, and comprehensive overview of Jesus’s relationship with violence, one that may forever change how you view his ministry and your calling.
