Advancing Nonviolence and Just Peace in the Church and the World is the fruit of a global, participatory process facilitated from 2017-2018 by the Catholic Nonviolence Initiative (CNI), a project of Pax Christi International, to deepen Catholic understanding of and commitment to Gospel nonviolence. 

This book includes biblical, theological, ethical, pastoral and strategic resources that might serve as a contribution to Catholic thought on nonviolence. It details how:

• Nonviolence is a core Gospel value, constitutive of the life of faith.
• Nonviolence is essential to transforming violence and injustice 
• Nonviolence is a universal ethic
• Nonviolence is a necessary foundation for culture of peace.
