Books by Michael Battle
Michael has written out of his studies and
friendship with Desmond Tutu, including such books as
Reconciliation: The
Ubuntu Theology of Desmond Tutu, and
The Wisdom of Desmond Tutu.
Blessed Are The
Peacemakers: A Christian Spirituality of Nonviolence, is out now
with Mercer
University Press. This book
wrestles with how Christian practices of nonviolence are often neglected, and
makes explicit connections between Mahatma Gandhi and Christian spirituality.
Recent books include a project co-written with Tony Campolo entitled:
The
Church Enslaved: A Spirituality of Racial Reconciliation,
(Fortress Press) and
Practicing Reconciliation in a Violent World. Michael's latest book
project, The Black Church in America: African American
Spirituality is now available.
