Excerpt from The Christian Equivalent of War

By seeking out the elemental factors involved in the use of force, whether they mani fest themselves ia international, civic, or social relations, or in personal conduct, and by comparing them with the principles of Jesus, we shall ever be discovering new and far-reaching applications of these principles, and thus new demonstrations of their validity and power.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the interrelationship between Christianity and war, arguing that the Christian ethos can provide a viable alternative to war as a means for conflict resolution. The author traces the historical evolution of attitudes towards war within Christianity, from the pacifism of early Christians to the rise of the just war theory in the Middle Ages. The book examines the ethical principles underlying both pacifism and just war theory, and argues that a Christian understanding of love and forgiveness can provide a more effective and humane approach to conflict than resorting to violence. The book concludes by exploring the practical implications of a Christian equivalent of war, suggesting ways in which Christian principles can be applied to international relations, social conflicts, and personal relationships. This book offers a timely and thought-provoking exploration of the role of Christianity in promoting peace and resolving conflict.
