God and War asks what it means to be faithful in a world at war and how humanity can move toward lasting peace.

This thoughtful exposition by Daniel Boy Freeman surveys the ideas behind modern warfare, the ethics of conflict, and practical steps toward a more peaceful world. It blends historical reflection with a call for new international norms and governance.

In clear, accessible language, the book analyzes who bears responsibility for war, the limits of diplomacy, and the moral implications of fighting. It also highlights practical proposals, including the idea that arms should be produced at cost by governments or a world authority, and it explores the role of culture, education, and leadership in shaping a future free from systematic violence. Through chapters on Tolstoy and the nature of warfare, the text invites readers to reconsider the roots of conflict and the meaning of peace.

Understand the paradoxes and costs of modern warfare.
Explore the ethical questions that arise when nations go to war.
Learn practical ideas for reducing arms and promoting international cooperation.
See how historical figures and ideas influence today’s peace movements.

Ideal for readers of philosophy, history, and peace studies who want a accessible, thought-provoking look at war and its alternatives.
