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."
