Synopsis
This book explores the Christian stance against war, tracing its roots to the teachings of Jesus Christ. The author argues that Christ's message of love and non-violence is incompatible with the violence and destruction of war. The author delves into the historical context of early Christianity, when Christians refused to participate in the Roman military as a matter of principle. Various Christian sects throughout history have maintained this anti-war stance, including the Quakers. The author discusses the challenges and tragedies faced by those who have sought to uphold this tenet, particularly during times of great conflict. By examining the historical and theological foundations of Christian pacifism, this book offers a profound reflection on the enduring dilemma between the demands of conscience and the necessities of the state.
