Sinopsis
Excerpt from War: From a Quaker Point of View
But all these passages have, in fact, a very easily comprehended meaning. We are to be liberal and open-handed, we are not to Spend our strength in worrying over the means of life, but are to live with some Of the careless gladness of the birds and the lilies of the field; we are to live With the melody of the bird and the colour and scent of the lily, instead of being over whelmed by grinding care. The expression Resist not evil then, must be subject to the same canon of interpretation.

Excerpt from War: From a Quaker Point of View
I. No lengthy proof is needed to show that the Christianity of Christ is actively hostile to all war. "God is Love" is the theological sanction to Christian conduct, and so excludes war. The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control. How would these do as nine standards for nine divisions of an army? No amount of genial allowance for poetic exaggeration or oriental epigram can change the command to turn the other cheek and to love your enemies into a maxim for military tactics. "The Soldier's Pocket Book" is an elaborate and detailed denial of the Golden Rule.
This hostility to war is no mere accident. It follows from the Christian conception of God as revealed in Christ.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330759837_0
