The Oxford Companion to Christian Thought Book

This was my first Dorothee Solle book, and I bought two more... I'm a fan.

In this book, she compares fundamental, liberal, and liberation theology in a number of different categories. Then she makes some really remarkable, insightful thoughts at the end about how our purpose is to bring the peace of God to earth- but not in an individual "I feel at peace" sense but rather that we can't have peace until there is no more starvation and war, etc.

"Even today, many Christians think that one can live by bearing inwardly in one's heart the peace of Christ which comforts us as individuals and relying outwardly on the Pax Romana and the order which it imposes by force... So we must understand the Pax Christi which comes into the world with the birth of Jesus as a history of peace making, a history of the interruption of violence." (pg 160)
