The moment Adam and Eve sinned, the peace and unity of paradise was lost. Their sin immediately threw them into conflict Human conflict is one of the dreadful consequences of sin entering the world. Because of sin, all human relationships are a struggle and are prone to conflict. We can trace the unrelenting plague of human conflict through the endless wars and divisions of human history, and sadly, church history as well. Throughout Scripture we see the ugly reality of sin displayed in cruel wars and fighting even among those who are called to be God's people. Alexander Strauch aims in this book to provide a better understanding of what the Bible teaches about conflict and to help believers learn how to respond to conflict according to the biblical principles.
