Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the ethical conflict between military service and Christian principles. The author, a naval officer, presents a detailed analysis of key Christian scriptures, particularly the Sermon on the Mount, and the Old Testament prophecies of peace, to argue that initiating and engaging in war are fundamentally incompatible with the teachings of Jesus Christ. He examines the arguments commonly used to justify war, including the idea of just and unjust wars, and concludes that the pacifist teachings of Christ should lead nations and individuals alike to reject violence and seek peace. By making the case for Christian pacifism and providing a framework for ethical reasoning, this book challenges traditional thinking on war and offers a compelling vision for a more just and peaceful world.
