Be Not Afraid: An Alternative to the War on Terror

Plot

Written primarily for U. S. Christians troubled by the "War on Terror", Be Not Afraid challenges this fear-based story and the dominant worldview to which it is linked. Long-time peace activist Tom Cordaro examines the narrative structure and psychology of the "War on Terror" and how it shapes our choices in ways that increase the threat of terrorism. Then he offers an alternative understanding of both the events of 9-11 and our larger national story that can coutner the threat of terrorism and build a more genuine peace rooted in justice.
