Throughout history, Scripture has demonstrated its enduring significance by addressing humanity's varied historical situations and social contexts. During times of struggle, Christians seek guidance and answers in God's word. Moments of existential crisis-triggered by conflicts, shifts in cultural paradigms, or sociopolitical changes-encourage fresh interpretations of established theological concepts and biblical exegesis. In this timely and important work, Ukrainian evangelical theologians come together to explore the Beatitudes as a source of spiritual and ethical guidance for Christians facing the major upheaval of revolution, war, and natural disaster. Historically, Christians have regarded the Beatitudes as a key to understanding Scripture, an ideal model for those spiritually rejuvenated through faith in Christ's life, death, and resurrection, and as essential virtues for nurturing personal spirituality and social engagement justice. Nine Ukrainian evangelical theologians have allowed their hermeneutics to be refined by missiles and martyrdom, demonstrating courage in wrestling with Christ's most challenging teachings while war rages around them. This book offers the global church both sobering witness and surprising hope, revealing how the Beatitudes retain their subversive power even in humanity's darkest hours. Tatiana Kopaleishvili, PhD Guest Assistant Professor, Department Religious Studies and Missiology, Evangelische Theologische Faculteit, Leuven, Belgium With solid exegesis, insightful interaction with worldwide interpreters throughout the centuries, and contextual interpreters in the Ukrainian theological tradition, Beatitudes and Terror does its work in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, but the wisdom and applications that emerge will encourage and fortify followers of Jesus in challenges and conflicts worldwide. Kirk Mackie, DMin Mission Lead and CEO, Aspire Network This book is a must-read for everyone. It provides a powerful example of how to remain fervent in deep biblical exploration while engaging critically with political reality and its theological implications. Julijana Mladenovska-Tesija, MTh Lecturer, Evangelical Theological Seminary, Osijek, Croatia This book will leave you feeling enriched, inspired, enlightened, and challenged. The whole volume bristles with a prophetic pathos that lends a depth and integrity that I have rarely encountered in any other commentary on the Beatitudes. Joshua Searle, PhD Co-Founder and Trustee, Dnipro Hope Mission This timely and profound book provokes reflection on realities that seem, at first glance, almost opposed and difficult to reconcile within ordinary experience. Without a doubt, it will be of benefit to all: scholars, students, church leaders, and the wider public.
