Christian Responses to Terrorism

“In this important book, Gordon Heath and David Tarus have assembled a remarkable grouping of those with special awareness and insights into this global issue, with specific reference to the north and east of Africa. Within the shifting sands of peoples, ideologies, cultures, and human aspiration, this topic is critical. We are indebted to Heath and Tarus for providing insights on terrorism for our understanding and Christian witness.”

“This book attempts to elucidate this phenomenon as it affects Kenya with a view to interpreting it in a wider global scope. Kenya being a predominantly Christian society with a sizable Muslim community has faced a serious threat posed by a terrorist group, al-Shabaab. I commend this book to educationists, theologians, pastors, counselors, and all people of good will, for it is designed to equip them with the necessary knowledge which will enable them to make appropriate decisions that will translate to appropriate responses to such contemporary challenges.”
