Quote from back cover

"one of the best biblical studies and reflections I know of on the nuclear menace." -- Jacques Ellul "If ever a book were written to arouse the church from its self-imposed blindness and to draw it into the light of biblical truth, Dale Aukerman's 'Darkening Valley' is it. It is unlikely to be surpassed by anything written on nuclear war from a religious perspective. I can only regard it as a kind of miracle, delivered into our hands at the time when we most need it. In my opinion Aukerman has produced the most important work on Christian discipleship since Bonhoeffer." -- the Christian Century

Read this book!

I loved this book when I first read it years ago for a college classroom, and I would like to use it immediately for adult church members who take the Bible as ground and authority for faith. Aukerman takes one significant passage of the Bible after another and insightfully brings out meanings clearly in the Bible which speak precisely to the contemporary world (he does this rather like the close readings of Erich Auerbach in Mimesis). This may be the best book I have ever read on the issue of a Biblical view of war and peace. Timely, urgent, readable, timeless.
