The Peace of the Present: An Unviolent Way of Life

The Peace of the Present: An Unviolent Way of Life by Dunne, John S.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780268015862.

This book by John S. Dunne, whom Kenneth Woodward has called, the most original religious thinker of our time, addresses the spirituality of nonviolence, which Dunne calls an unviolent way of life. Dunne shares Ghandhis vision of nonviolence as a spiritual discipline, a learning to love that leads to a seeing of truth. The book is the result of three trips Dunne took to Santiago, Chile, where he lectured on the spirituality of nonviolence. It is also based on conversations that the author had with religious scholar David Daube, philosopher and critic Rene Girard, and psychologist Erik Erilson.
