Excerpt from War: From a Quaker Point of View
But all these passages have, in fact, a very easily comprehended meaning. We are to be liberal and open-handed, we are not to Spend our strength in worrying over the means of life, but are to live with some Of the careless gladness of the birds and the lilies of the field; we are to live With the melody of the bird and the colour and scent of the lily, instead of being over whelmed by grinding care. The expression Resist not evil then, must be subject to the same canon of interpretation.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the Christian stance against war, tracing its roots to the teachings of Jesus Christ. The author argues that Christ's message of love and non-violence is incompatible with the violence and destruction of war. The author delves into the historical context of early Christianity, when Christians refused to participate in the Roman military as a matter of principle. Various Christian sects throughout history have maintained this anti-war stance, including the Quakers. The author discusses the challenges and tragedies faced by those who have sought to uphold this tenet, particularly during times of great conflict. By examining the historical and theological foundations of Christian pacifism, this book offers a profound reflection on the enduring dilemma between the demands of conscience and the necessities of the state. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
