Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the morality of war, challenging the long-held belief that defensive war is justifiable. The author argues that all war is inherently immoral and incompatible with the teachings of Christ. They provide a thorough examination of the arguments for defensive war, countering each one with scriptural evidence and ethical reasoning. The author traces the historical evolution of Christian thought on war, showing how the early church fathers condemned it as un-Christian, and how this view was gradually eroded over time. They explore the psychological and emotional factors that drive people to support war, and the devastating consequences it has on individuals and societies. Ultimately, the book calls for a return to the original Christian principles of peace and nonviolence, arguing that these are the only true path to a just and lasting world.
