I enjoyed the "Week With..." series last week so I've decided to do it again this week. Some may know the name J. Denny Weaver, but I have a feeling that not too many will.
J. Denny Weaver is Professor of Religion and The Harry and Jean Yoder Scholar in Bible and Religion at Bluffton University. His most recent publications include "The Nonviolent Atonement" (Eerdmans, 2001), and (co-edited with Gerald Biesecker-Mast), "Teaching Peace: Nonviolence and the Liberal Arts" (Rowman & Littlefield, 2003). His research interests focus on understanding the impact of violent and nonviolent expressions in theology. He served with three Christian Peacemaker Teams delegations to Haiti.
Weaver's voice is a refreshing and challenging voice for the church today. My hope is that his words this week will open us to some engaging conversation and dialog.
shalom,
jonathon
