Excerpt from God and War: An Exposition of the Principles Underlying Creative Peace
Thereafter, on many nights I saw the moon and the restless waters, but they spoke with changed voices. Their beauty appeared cold and forbidding. Their personal message had grown confused. Inexorable law was now the word they uttered. Their former kindness seemed a smile of mockery.
What reconciling note could be struck to harmonize beauty and brutality? How could the soul admit the reality of God and the fact of war?

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book challenges the deeply ingrained belief that warfare benefits the victor, arguing that in modern times, armed conflict between civilized nations is not only futile but also harmful to all involved. The author, a respected scholar and thinker, examines the historical, economic, and moral dimensions of warfare, demonstrating how its supposed benefits, such as increased wealth or national honor, are illusory. Instead, the author posits that war invariably leads to material losses, social upheaval, and a decline in human values, ultimately undermining the very foundations of civilization. The book's insights are both timely and timeless, offering a compelling case for the abolition of war as a means of resolving international disputes and promoting human progress.
