Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the history of the Peace Movement and reflects upon the future of international peace. It begins by acknowledging that most people deplore war but for a variety of reasons do not support peace societies. This book directly addresses the arguments of these unreconciled individuals who often believe ending war is either impossible or impractical. The author points out that, historically, the use of violence to solve disputes has greatly diminished. He cites the example of feudal warfare in Europe, which, at one time, was pervasive. The author also provides arguments against defensive warfare. He notes that the true teachings of Jesus Christ stress nonresistance and presents examples where nonviolent resistance has been successful. He concludes by stating that Peace Societies are optimistic about the future and believe with the help of a universal adherence to Christian principles, the abolition of war is possible. The book will engage those interested in Christianity, war and peace, and ethics.
