This book re-examines the ethics of war in light of the teachings of Jesus Christ. The author begins by highlighting the ongoing debate between those who believe Jesus countenanced war and those who believe it fundamentally contradicts His teachings. By examining the New Testament, the book argues that a Christian cannot take part in war without disregarding the spirit of Christ's example and teachings. The author shows how Jesus's call to love one's enemies, resist evil, and follow in His path of suffering and death fundamentally contradicts the use of violence and war. By connecting the teachings of Jesus to the economic arguments of Norman Angell, the book argues that war is not only un-Christian but also unnecessary and counterproductive. Its insights into the nature of Christian ethics and their implications for war make this book a valuable resource for anyone seeking guidance on the subject.
