Synopsis
Excerpt from War and Conscience in America
My awareness of the need for this book was made clear to me when I conducted a seminar on this subject at Oberlin College. No small credit is deserved by the members of that seminar for exciting my further explorations into the issues that it uncovered. The process continued while I was teaching in the summer session at Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
In the early stages of writing, Prof. Ralph Potter, of Harvard University, prodded and inspired me to finish as quickly as I could. Several individuals, including students, read a penultimate version. Among those whose helpful comments I must particularly acknowledge are the Reverend William Cook, National Field Director of the Council on Religion and International Affairs; Dr. Alan Geyer, Director of International Relations, Council for Christian Social Action, United Church of Christ; Dr. Roger Shinn, William Dodge Professor of Applied Christianity at Union Theological Seminary; and Dr. H. Thomas Frank, an Oberlin colleague.

War and Conscience in America (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex moral dilemmas posed by war, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by individuals navigating the ethical landscape of armed conflict. The author explores the changing nature of warfare, from the impact of national sovereignty and the rise of atomic weapons to the complexities of limited war and insurgency warfare. Rooted in historical context, the book examines traditional Christian teachings on war, including the just war theory and the contrasting war ethic of the Crusade. It delves into the justifications for conscientious participation, outlining the criteria for a just war and exploring the motivations behind religious and ideological conflicts. The author also delves into the arguments for religious opposition to war, encompassing various forms of pacifism and their underlying principles. By analysing the intricacies of war and conscience, this book encourages readers to critically engage with the moral dimensions of conflict and to grapple with the difficult choices faced by individuals in times of war. Ultimately, it underscores the importance of individual moral responsibility and the ongoing struggle to reconcile personal beliefs with the demands of national policy and the realities of a changing world.
