Beatitudes and Terror: A Ukrainian Theological Response to Russian Aggression - Paperback

by Oleksandr Geychenko (Editor), Yevgeny Ustinovich (Author), Roman Soloviy (Editor)

Throughout history, Scripture has demonstrated its enduring significance by addressing humanity's varied historical situations and social contexts. During times of struggle, Christians seek guidance and answers in God's word. Moments of existential crisis-triggered by conflicts, shifts in cultural paradigms, or sociopolitical changes-encourage fresh interpretations of established theological concepts and biblical exegesis.

In this timely and important work, Ukrainian evangelical theologians come together to explore the Beatitudes as a source of spiritual and ethical guidance for Christians facing the major upheaval of revolution, war, and natural disaster. Historically, Christians have regarded the Beatitudes as a key to understanding Scripture, an ideal model for those spiritually rejuvenated through faith in Christ's life, death, and resurrection, and as essential virtues for nurturing personal spirituality and social engagement justice.
