The Post-Atomic World

More than 20,000 nuclear weapons still exist - but the physical, environmental, and economic fallout from even one nuclear explosion would devastate our interconnected world.

Tyler Wigg Stevenson, a preacher, author and activist with a decade of experience in nuclear weapons issues, is mobilizing a generation of Christians to ensure that biblical principles like the protection of innocent life, creation care and concern for the poor direct the nuclear course we choose.

Even the imagery is pervasively inhuman: from the sleek, sterile profiles of bombs to the roaring mushroom cloud caused by their detonation. But does the nuclear issue need a “face?” If so, a new documentary about the impending danger might be a providential act of timeliness.
