Is preparedness for war unchristian? This classic collection gathers the author’s addresses on how faith, citizenship, and churches intersect with national defense. It argues that preparation is a duty born from responsibility, not aggression, and invites readers to weigh the spiritual implications of war and peace.
Written in the early 20th century, the book frames defense as a preventative necessity grounded in Christian teaching. It surveys how rationalism, ethics, and religious life shape public courage, the role of the church in national life, and the duties of citizens in times of crisis.
Ideal for readers of history, theology, and public ethics who want a thoughtful, faith-tinged perspective on patriotism, responsibility, and moral courage.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This remarkable book, a collection of addresses, was written by Reverend Len G. Broughton at the heart of the First World War. With the chaos and despair of war enveloping Europe, Christianity faced a severe test, as people questioned its validity and doubted the existence of God. Broughton argues that the war is a judgment upon Europe for its departure from Christianity and its embracing of rationalism. His critique is not simply an attack on rationalism, but a challenge to the idea that the true essence of Christianity lies in ethical self-improvement. Broughton presents a rousing defense of the essential message of the Christian Gospel: salvation by grace through the atoning work of Jesus. While the addresses were made during a time of widespread questioning of Christianity, Broughton's message is even more necessary and important in the present day when materialism, skepticism, and rationalism continue to plague the beliefs of people.
