Love of enemies, search for peace. In the current international political atmosphere where hope is in short supply these days within and outside the church (William Klassen), these twin themes hardly seem compatible. Klassen maintains, however, that the two are not only consistent but also have coexisted from ancient times to the present, due in large part to the Jesus movement.
