Long time peace activist, Father John Dear offers a compelling new reading of the story of Lazarus, which calls us all to pursue a life of peace.
If Lazarus represents humanity, the story of his raising is about the God of Life confronting the power of death itself, calling humanity to walk out of its tomb—the culture of violence and war—and into "the new life of resurrection peace."
John Dear, S.J., is a Jesuit priest and peace activist whose many books include Living Peace: A Spirituality of Contemplation and Action (Image, 2004) and The Questions of Jesus (Image 2004). His Orbis titles include You Will Be My Witnesses (2006), and, as editor, Mohandas Gandhi: Essential Writings (2002) and Daniel Berrigan: Essential Writings (2010). Dear writes a weekly online column for The National Catholic Reporter.
