Stassen is a well-known Baptist theologian in the Christian circle, having made significant contribution to the discipline of ethics with his "just peacemaking" theory in the just war/pacifism debate, in addition to authoring a number of important texts, including tbe award-winning Kingdom Ethics- one of the better known works on Christian ethics in the past decade. He also authored a controversial essay in Jim Wallis' Sojourners magazine a few years back on the increase of abortion rate and the economic failure under the Bush administration, which sparked wide debate in the media, in publications like Nationa Review, and on Fox News, MSNBC, etc.
