Integrating the New Science of Love and a Spirituality of Peace: Becoming Human Again

In Integrating the New Science of Love and a Spirituality of Peace the contributors explore the intersection between the science of attachment theory and the vision of Anabaptism. What emerges is a deeper sense of what it means to be human and a hope for a different tomorow inspired by the kingdom of God as preached by Jesus of Nazareth. This book is about what it means to be human and it may not be what you expect. Contemporary neuroscience is rapidly undermining some of our dearly held assumptions about who we are and how we function. This is not another idle academic conversation. These assumptions have been the basis of our educational and legal institutions and changing them could have far-reaching consequences for how we structure our lives . . . How we see ourselves is an urgent moral issue. The implications of attachment theory are personal social and global and that is why this book is so important. --Howard Zehr from the Foreword Christian E.
