The older one is written by him and is primarily an exposition on the Sermon on the Mount; the second one is edited by him and has the subtitle of "Ten Practices to Abolish War." What I have found helpful in Stassen's work is his argument that there is another alternative to Just War theory and Pacifism, which he has termed Just Peacemaking. He makes a lot out of the Sermon on the Mount, its triadic structure (vs. a dualistic structure), and what he calls transformative initiatives. On this issue in particular he has an article in the Journal of Biblical Literature, which might be the best place to start. Glen H. Stassen, "The Fourteen Triads of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:21-7:12)," JBL 122 (2003): 267-308.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11224098466564640855noreply@blogger.com
