Prayers in a Time of War: A 1914 sermon on neutrality, conscience, and the moral duties of a nation unfolds a thoughtful clash between pacifist hope and wartime obligation.
This nonfiction study examines how a nation can seek peace while facing hard truths about liberty, defense, and the responsibilities of citizens.
In a period of conflict, the text argues that neutrality is not a sign of indifference. It recognizes strong emotions, national loyalties, and the need for thoughtful restraint grounded in faith and duty. It also calls readers to consider how leaders and people alike can pray for peace without surrendering essential values.
The work places wartime ethics within a broader historical and religious frame, discussing past peace efforts and the role of Christianity in shaping public life. It offers careful reflections on responsibility, governance, and the possibility of a more just future after war.
Ideal for readers of history, religious studies, and wartime ethics seeking thoughtful, measured perspectives.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a sermon delivered by an American priest in 1914, in response to the outbreak of World War I. It opens with a passage from the Bible that asks why humanity engages in conflict when all people share the same God as their creator. The author reflects on the devastating impact of the war on the nations of Europe and encourages his congregation to pray not only for peace, but also for the pardoning of sins and the wisdom to recognize and pursue the path of peace. The author acknowledges the challenges of maintaining peace in the face of prejudice, but urges his listeners to avoid emotional thinking and to seek a clear-eyed understanding of the war's causes and consequences. The author suggests that the war may prompt society to re-evaluate its values, potentially leading to positive changes in how nations interact and how individuals prioritize their own resources. While the sermon was delivered over a century ago, its call for peace, compassion, and understanding remains relevant today.
