- "Defining revolution is as difficult as defining 'religion' or 'secularity' -- words, focal in manty debates in the previous volumes in this series. Most of the authors represented here give at least functional definitions appropriate to their arguments and some of them ... at least begin to be systematic in their attempts. ... Here it is important to note only some common threads running throughout these essays. For the Christian, revolution is born not merely in response to the empirical world but in the effort to follow the 'eschatological' note imparted by biblical witness. .... The second motif, is based on discontent with the world as it is, with the tradition that has been handed down. For Christians this involves acceptance of the churches' guilt in establishing the no longer humanizing status quo. .... That leaves one big question, and in some sense or other all the essays in this book deal with it: how bring aboout change ? As Christians or simply as men ? Violently or nonviolently ?" -- p. 10-11.
