Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers"--but in our increasingly polarized communities and nation, where can a person of faith begin? In Reconciling Places, pastor and scholar Paul Hoffman introduces laypeople and ministry leaders to a "theology of reconciliation" that equips Christians to act as reconcilers and bridge builders, wherever they are and whatever issues divide their communities.

Paul A. Hoffman (PhD, University of Manchester) has served as the Senior Pastor of Evangelical Friends Church of Newport since 2007. He has authored chapters in two books, has ministered in over thirty countries, and is a member of the Oversight Board for the Evangelical Friends Church - Eastern Region.
