This essay continues to examine certain connections between masculinity, economics and ecotheology, and global violence (cf., Clark, 2002b), by focusing primarily on a single, recently published text, God in the Balance: Christian Spirituality in Times of Terror (Heyward, 2002). Heyward's “peace theology” will be set alongside a metaphorical, apocalyptic reading of current events, not only to better understand global terrorism and U.S. responses to such violence, but also to begin articulating alternatives to any violence that is fueled by human desperation. To that end, theories of nonviolence and both environmental and socioeconomic justice will also be explored
