Author Description

Product Description Peace in our time? Peace between nations can and should be achieved for the good of man and the greater glory of God. A renewed philosophy and theology of peace can exhort no less than this. Author Rev. Dr. Dimkpa carefully presents a practical approach to a workable peace, based on active war-avoidance and listening, and rooted in the social doctrine of the Church. The author does not stop there. He also discusses obstacles to peace and emphasizes that peace is not a paradox of violent elimination of enemies. Rather, it transcends and moderates reason itself. This timely work makes smooth the path that will set us once again along the right way towards an authentic culture of peace without war, without violence. Review "...Fr. Dimkpa's epochal and insightful contribution to a new culture of world peace through a non-violent approach is an indispensable aid for any peace-building, justice-loving and God-fearing citizen. If you think that you should not be indifferent to world peace, then you must grab this book!" --- Fr. Stephen N. Achilihu, Ph.D. International Law, Child rights activist and parish priest, Simbario, Italy "This book must be read by anyone interested in making the world a better place. It can only be a better place when there is peace." --- Rev. Dr. Innocent Ike Nwachukwu, Good Shepherd Church, Rhinebeck, New York, U.S.A. "In our world today when peace in personal, familial, local and international relationships seems to be played like a game of interests and more efforts are spent on the effects of failed peace than on preventing violence, we need a new set of guidelines to a more peaceful co-existence...." --- Humphrey Uche Ani, Philosophy student, Gregorian University, Rome About the Author Father Anthony Chidozie Dimkpa was born in 1972 in Ndiakata, Nigeria, and ordained a Catholic priest in 2001 in the Diocese of Aba, Nigeria.
