Download or read book Incessant Warfare written by Chinaka Samuel DomNwachukwu and published by CrossBooks. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incessant Warfare: A Critical History of Spiritual Warfare through the Ages presents both biblical and historical evidence of the continuing battle between God and the forces of evil. Bringing to bear a quarter-century of study of the issues, Chinaka Samuel DomNwachuku shows how this evidence supports the claim that God has called his church to take up arms in this battle. He explains how the church's theology and practice can engage and overcome the forces opposing God. Because God fights this battle in all times and places, Incessant Warfare draws upon people's experiences recorded in the Bible, witnessed in history, and lived in contemporary cultures in Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The focus remains on experience and does not dwell on speculation. Incessant Warfare offers a guide to equip all Christians with the knowledge they need to face the challenges that arise in living faithfully in the midst of this struggle, both in their service in the church and in their witness in daily life. Pastors will find the depth of historical and spiritual insights strengthening their leadership. Theologians will discover in this critical history the evidence they need to support their thinking, writing, and teaching. In the end, Incessant Warfare speaks a word of hope, reminding readers that even though the struggle seems long perhaps never ending Christians can remain undaunted in this battle, trusting that the power of God ultimately will overwhelm the powers of darkness.
Download or read book Constant Battles written by Steven A. LeBlanc and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With armed conflict in the Persian Gulf now upon us, Harvard archaeologist Steven LeBlanc takes a long-term view of the nature and roots of war, presenting a controversial thesis: The notion of the "noble savage" living in peace with one another and in harmony with nature is a fantasy. In Constant Battles: The Myth of the Peaceful, Noble Savage, LeBlanc contends that warfare and violent conflict have existed throughout human history, and that humans have never lived in ecological balance with nature. The start of the second major U.S. military action in the Persian Gulf, combined with regular headlines about spiraling environmental destruction, would tempt anyone to conclude that humankind is fast approaching a catastrophic end. But as LeBlanc brilliantly argues, the archaeological record shows that the warfare and ecological destruction we find today fit into patterns of human behavior that have gone on for millions of years. Constant Battles surveys human history in terms of social organization-from hunter gatherers, to tribal agriculturalists, to more complex societies. LeBlanc takes the reader on his own digs around the world -- from New Guinea to the Southwestern U.S. to Turkey -- to show how he has come to discover warfare everywhere at every time. His own fieldwork combined with his archaeological, ethnographic, and historical research, presents a riveting account of how, throughout human history, people always have outgrown the carrying capacity of their environment, which has led to war. Ultimately, though, LeBlanc's point of view is reassuring and optimistic. As he explains the roots of warfare in human history, he also demonstrates that warfare today has far less impact than it did in the past. He also argues that, as awareness of these patterns and the advantages of modern technology increase, so does our ability to avoid war in the future.

Book excerpt: From an award-winning historian of ancient Rome, a concise and comprehensive history of the fighting forces that created the Roman Empire Roman warfare was relentless in its pursuit of victory. A ruthless approach to combat played a major part in Rome's history, creating an empire that eventually included much of Europe, the Near East and North Africa. What distinguished the Roman army from its opponents was the uncompromising and total destruction of its enemies. Yet this ferocity was combined with a genius for absorbing conquered peoples, creating one of the most enduring empires ever known. In Roman Warfare, celebrated historian Adrian Goldsworthy traces the history of Roman warfare from 753 BC, the traditional date of the founding of Rome by Romulus, to the eventual decline and fall of Roman Empire and attempts to recover Rome and Italy from the "barbarians" in the sixth century AD. It is the indispensable history of the most professional fighting force in ancient history, an army that created an Empire and changed the world.

Download or read book The Medieval Way of War written by Gregory I. Halfond and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few historians have argued so forcefully or persuasively as Bernard S. Bachrach for the study of warfare as not only worthy of scholarly attention, but demanding of it. In his many publications Bachrach has established unequivocally the relevance of military institutions and activity for an understanding of medieval European societies, polities, and mentalities. In so doing, as much as any scholar of his generation, he has helped to define the status quaestionis for the field of medieval military history. The Medieval Way of War: Studies in Medieval Military History in Honor of Bernard S. Bachrach pays tribute to its honoree by gathering in a single volume seventeen original studies from an international roster of leading experts in the military history of medieval Europe. Ranging chronologically from Late Antiquity through the Later Middle Ages (ca. AD 300-1500), and with a broad geographical scope stretching from the British Isles to the Middle East, these diverse studies address an array of critical themes and debates relevant to the conduct of war in medieval Europe. These themes include the formation and implementation of military grand strategies; the fiscal, material, and administrative resources that underpinned the conduct of war in medieval Europe; and religious, legal, and artistic responses to military violence. Collectively, these seventeen studies embrace the interdisciplinarity and topical diversity intrinsic to Bachrach’s research. Additionally, they strongly echo his conviction that the study of armed conflict is indispensable for an accurate and comprehensive understanding of medieval European history.
