About this title

Synopsis:

Listen in to the conversations between these two great teachers as they struggle with what it means to put your faith to the test. Their conversations would encompass a fascinating range of topics: war psychology violence social institutions compassion activism family life - all in the context of the authors' shared faith both in God and in the possibility of change. Today their observations and ideas are as insightful and pertinent as ever and deserve re-examination by a new generation. In this expanded anniversary edition Robert Coles sets the conversations in their historical perspective and assesses the progress of faith-based activism in the past three decades.
