Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the relationship between war and Christianity, arguing that war is fundamentally incompatible with Christian principles. The author examines the origins of war, arguing it stems from the malicious and murderous temper of Cain, and contends that it is perpetuated by the tyranny of custom and the indulgence of the worst of passions. The book draws on historical evidence to demonstrate that during the first two centuries of the Christian era, Christians refused to participate in wars due to their pacifist beliefs. The author argues that the Church's subsequent shift towards embracing war and bloodshed marked a significant departure from its original precepts, and maintains that a return to the pacifism of the early Church is essential for both the Church and nations as a whole. The book explores the idea that abolishing war by the consent of nations is not an improbable event and concludes that the insights offered in this book are crucial for understanding the true nature of war and its devastating consequences.
