James W. Douglass's The Non-Violent Cross: A Theology of Revolution and Peace explores the theology behind nonviolent resistance, uniting the revolutionary understanding of Christ through the cross with the power of peaceful revolution, exploring how nonviolent love becomes a transformative force for social and spiritual change, and demonstrating Jesus as a revolutionary who prioritized radical love as a response to injustice, not through physical violence but through sacrifice and resurrection. This book explores the theological basis for nonviolent action as a form of authentic spiritual revolution, presenting how nonviolent love can be a transformative force for overcoming social and political injustice.
