About Book

Meyers examines the Greek term hypomonē in the context of the Book of Revelation, framing it as a concept of “enduring resistance” through nonviolence. The article argues that early Christian communities practiced nonviolent resistance against oppressive powers without resorting to physical violence. Key points include: • Theological interpretation of Revelation as a text advocating patient, steadfast resistance. • Ethical implications for modern Christian nonviolence movements. • Illustrates how faith-driven nonviolence can empower communities facing oppression while maintaining moral integrity. The article bridges biblical scholarship with practical insights on how nonviolence has been conceptually embedded in early religious resistance. The study is relevant for faith-based initiatives and interfaith programs promoting nonviolent approaches to conflict resolution. Community engagement mechanisms include: • Integrating the concept of enduring nonviolent resistance in youth and religious education programs. • Informing interfaith dialogue on ethical responses to oppression. • Supporting peacebuilding initiatives rooted in theological frameworks. • Providing insights for religious leaders and educators to encourage moral and resilient responses to conflict. This article offers valuable theological insights that strengthen GRACE’s mission to promote nonviolence, moral resistance, and resilience in the face of extremism and oppression. Strengths: • Original scholarly approach to nonviolence in biblical texts. • Provides ethical and practical lessons for contemporary peace efforts. • Peer-reviewed and published by a reputable journal. Limitations: • Focused on Christian theology; application may need adaptation for broader secular or interfaith contexts. • Concise article length limits extensive practical examples.
