Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peace, War and the Christian Conscience St. Ambrose (397) had made some adaptations of these principles to Christian thought, but St. Augus tine (430) elaborated them in fuller detail. Augustine held that Christian perfection was not possible in this world and, consequently, that peace was not possible during man's earthly pilgrimage. He also believed that one could be a Christian and kill his enemies because the destruction of the enemy's body might actually benefit his soul. In fact, hetaught that only a man who loved his enemy might kill him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book War and Christian Conscience written by Fahey, Joseph J. and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This primer on war and the Christian conscience begins in an imaginary college classroom as students react to news that the draft has been reinstated. ""Why cant I finish college?"" asks one student. ""Why do I have to go?"" These urgent and personal questions offer the entry to a clear and comprehensive outline of the basic Christian responses to the problem of war. As Fahey shows, the Christian tradition has supplied a variety of answers, including pacifism, just war teaching, the ethic of ""total war,"" and the vision of a ""world community."" In the face of these different approaches, how are we to decide which one is right? And more basically, how does one go about forming ones personal conscience? For all who ponder these moral challenges--whether as young people facing the question of military service, or as counselors, chaplains, or teachers--this book offers an essential and practical guide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any scholarship that addresses the evolution of Christian perspectives on warfare generally references this book. first published in 1960. Although the scholarship of this work is now outdated and critiqued, Bainton's work is foundational in the area. Bainton believes that the Christian community started out pacifistic, then developed the just war doctrine, and finally adopted holy war ideals. He traces this trajectory from the Early Church up through the wars and conflicts of the 20th century. Finally, Bainton adds his critique of current militaristic ideas, especially in regards to atomic warfare. (from a review by Andrew Lumpkin)
Download or read book War Peace and Social Conscience written by Theron F. Schlabach and published by MennoMedia, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-11-23 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Howard Yoder is one of the best-known Mennonite thinkers on peace. But before Yoder there was Guy F. Hershberger, whose reflections on war, violence and peace helped Mennonites navigate perilous times in early to mid-20th century, and who also laid the foundation for what became the Alternative Service Program in the U.S. during World War II. In the 1960s, he played an important role in guiding the Mennonite church’s response to the civil rights movement—nudging them toward greater openness to Martin Luther King’s call for justice for African-Americans. In this definitive biography, Theron F. Schlabach shows how Hershberger helped Christians live their faith in a world beset by war and injustice, at the same time pioneering creative ways to engage pressing concerns such as civil rights, economic justice and capital punishment. Says Stanley Hauerwas, Professor of Theological Ethics, Duke Divinity School: “What Schlabach has given us is an invaluable, honest account of a life lived in the tensions of the Mennonite church as that church explored the implications of being a people committed to nonviolence. The resulting account is a crucial account not only of Hershberger’s life, but of Mennonite life—an accounting I hope non-Mennonites will find instructive because it may help them understand Mennonites, but more importantly how Mennonites help us better understand what being Christian entails.” War, Peace, and Social Conscience: Guy F. Hershberger and Mennonite Ethics was made possible through the generous support of Mennonite Mutual Aid and the Mennonite Historical Society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Quotations on Peace and War: With Especial Reference to a Course of Lessons on International Peace, a Study in Christian Fraternity Included in This Volume We believe in the Universal human Brotherhood. The crusade of Brotherhood is the most remarkable and prophetic of all the social movements of the modern world. - Amory H. Bradford. Humanity is here and God is here and the glory of Jesus Christ lies in the light that he has poured upon both. He has taught us that the final truth about man is life in the fellowship of love; he has taught us that this fellowship on earth is possible because of the ineffable fellowship of love in God. In the presence of God's world-plan all men are one. We are one in origin, in fortune, and in destiny. - George A. Gordon. I wish we might take home to ourselves this one thought that God is our Father and that we are his children. Our Father - the Father of us all ... The Father not only of patriarchs and prophets, of saints and martyrs, of the holy and excellent of the earth, but the Father of publicans and sinners, of heathen men and criminals, of the vilest and the worst just as truly as of the purest and the best. It is the one word that we have to speak to all sorts and conditions of men - the one message which every messenger of God has to deliver - God is your Father, you are all his children. - Washington Gladden, Present Day Theology, p. 36.
