Goldman 1068: "Benjaminson authored this fictional dialogue between 'Abraham, ' a Jewish preacher, and 'peter, ' a Christian priest, to instruct Jews how to respond to Christological arguments. " Abrahamson notes in the introduction to this work: "And now I call out to you.the writers of Israel.come with me and help me in this holy war.write, publish, bring to light and vindicate our holy religion. We are all obligated by this holy responsibility, for if we are not for ourselves, then who will be for us, and if not now, then when? And who knows, maybe Divine Providence caused all this [i. E. The pogroms] to bring us here to this free land, where there is no satanic adversary, demon of destruction or devil (censor) over the press. Everyone may speak and write as he wishes concerning matters of religion.However, to our sorrow, we have become used to the barrier placed over our mouths by our enemies in all the lands of the dispersion. We have ceased to speak on matters of religion because one could never know who might take offence. Over time this custom has become second nature to us.not to respond with the truth because it was a time to be silent (and this was when we were in cursed Russia) . But now it is a time to speak (now that we are in the land of freedom) . " SUBJECT(S) : Judaism -- Apologetic works. Disputations -- Jewish-Christian. Flyleaf brittle and chipped. Ex-library.

Hardcover. 1st edition. Period boards. 8vo. 92 pages, 22 cm. In Hebrew. Title translates to "War for Peace: A Debate Between Two Jewish and Christian Lovers on the Matter of Religion. " A turn of the Century defense against Christian missionaries. In a contemporary review entitled "Neo-Hebraic Literature in America" (New York, 1900) , Bernard Drachman noted that Milhamah Be-Shalom "is a defense of Judaism against the attacks of Christian missionaries, particularly against the culumnies of McCall in his notorious Netibot Olam, and a sharp criticism on the New Testament. The work is in the form of a debate between Peter, a Christian priest, who represents Christianity, and Abraham, a Jewish Rabbi and preacher, who defends the cause of Judaism. Its usefulness as furnishing Hebrew reading Jews with arguments by which to refute the persistent proselytizing efforts of Christian missionaries is very great. It is written in a pure, clear and simple style which renders its perusal easy for any one [sic] acquainted with Hebrew. " Singerman 5131.
