Synopsis

War and peace through a Quaker lens that asks you to weigh faith, law, and humanity.

In this work, the author argues that Christian ethics point away from war and toward a living, practical sense of mercy. It uses biblical interpretation and historical example to show how nonviolence can guide both personal conscience and public policy.

  • How the Sermon on the Mount informs attitudes toward conflict
  • The balance between absolute principle and real-world decision making
  • The role of government, force, and noncombatant protection in times of war
  • Ways early and modern Christian thought address violence and peace
Ideal for readers exploring peace ethics, Christian nonviolence, and the history of Quaker perspectives.
