“The Peace Church tradition has for a long time presented an alternative, subversive reading of Scripture that has served an alternative, subversive way in the world. The present volume continues that alternative reading with force and imagination in a most remarkable way. The contextual point for readers is the imperial militarism of the U.S., especially in its ‘crusade’ against Muslims. The book, however, is not quarrelsome or given to championing any cause. Rather, it offers superb biblical interpretation of specific texts, interpretation made accessible and designed to feed and nurture a peaceable imagination. I learned in important ways from these fresh readings of the text; I anticipate other readers will learn afresh as well.” — Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary
