| Summary: | This article focuses on the approach to conflict resolution defended by Baptist theologian Glen H. Stassen. It first offers an overview of this important Baptist figure through his life story, which shows how his interest in peacemaking was formed under specific circumstances. Then attention is paid to Stassen’s engagement with the Bible and the foundation for his views on conflict resolution in the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount. There follows an analysis and evaluation of the efficacy of Stassen’s approach, where it is claimed that this approach can be applied in concrete situations. However the approach cannot be absolutized, given the complicated nature of conflicts, such as in particular the one happening in Ukraine. |
