Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sole Condition of Permanent Peace There is likewise no evident reason to anticipate that states so situated that one can war on another, with hope of advantage in either direction, will ever abstain through great periods of time from doing so. A part of the causes of past wars are certainly dis appearing; but the interests of nations will be able to conflict as long as the nations survive, and it is hard to imagine any complete scheme by which conflicting interests of independent and coordinate states can be kept from occasionally being settled by the test of war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peace In these days of troubles and anxieties, when the world is suffering from wantsand difficulties, when ambition and avarice are the main features that guide the principles of men, it would be essential that a few words of consolation be. Written to bring men to their senses, and to cause them to desist from the course they have adopted. The real cause of their trouble however, lies not in the world outside, which they think has robbed them of or intruded upon their conveniences of life but it has its origin in their hearts within, 'which unless re moved, cannot bring in peace to them. I am not however, certain how far these instructions will be appreciated by men, and they may pass-off unnoticed aschaff before a raging wind; yet as they are in.

Download or read book The Christian Doctrine of Peace Classic Reprint written by James Hastings and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of Peace My father has left a volume on Peace. Shortly before his death he corrected the final proofs. It is fitting so, for during his life he preached peace. In his 'Notes of Recent Exposition' in the Expository Times he wrote of the Copenhagen Conference, and quoted these words of Dr. Jowett: 'I was impressed with the grave necessity of demonstrating our will-to-peace as men demonstrated their will-to-war. ... Behind Governments and politicians, behind diplomatists and militarists, there is a great silent world of men and women yearning for peace. Delegates from every land spoke about it.... The people are not numb; they are only dumb. They do not lack heart, they are only in want of a voice. They cannot demonstrate their desires. They cannot speak so as to make Governments hear and heed. They need an organ of expression, and where can they find an organ except in the Church of the Living God? What is the Church for but to be a mouth for the dumb, an instrument to utter the silent yearnings of the purest and the best in every land?' But Dr. Hastings believed that a further duty is laid upon the Church. The people are not all seeking an 'organ of expression, ' for they are not all seeking peace. A fresh moral force to move them to the will-to-peace is needed. He hoped that preachers in all Churches would make Peace a message in the coming winter.

Download or read book Peace and Righteousness Classic Reprint written by James Hall McIlvaine and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peace and Righteousness Shall rule in judgment. He sees the re demption of self-centered and aggressive individualism: A man shall be as a hid ing - place from the Wind and a covert from the tempest He sees the redemp tion of nature: The wilderness shall become a fruitful field and the desert bloom as the rose. Instead of the thorn there shall come up the fir tree and ih stead oi the briar the myrtle tree. And over all the varied and wonderful vision rests the quietness and confidence of a large and permanent peace. What then is this peace, and whence does it come? He tells us that it is a work, an ehect. It is not the beginning of a process, but its end; not a root, 'but a fruit; not the creation of an imperial fiat, but the matured product of a moral or der. You cannot command peace, you can only grow it. If you would have the reaping there must be the sowing; for the reaping of peace there must [be the planting of righteousness. That is the law of the sequence. Observe the right eons order then can be grown the lilies of peace. Now we begin to appreciate the successions of this great chapter. Thefirst bugle peal proclaims not the advent of peace, but the enthronement of right eousness. The herald withholds the word peace until righteousness is established. A king shall reign in righteousness and princes shall rule in judgment. That is the voice of the first trumpet, and only when certain great redemptions have been wrought, certain perversities cor rected, certain authorities restored, cer tain pure and moral conditions recovered, is the second trumpet heard: And the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever. That is the expres sion of the divine order as taught in the divine word. You cannot grow peace from unrighteousness, injustice, Oppres sion, cruelty, wrong. Peace does not spring from such roots. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles P Not so. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. That is the sweet and beautiful fellowship. Peace appears and offers her lovely face when wooed by rectitude and justice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Justice of the Peace In my case (i am glad to say) mere uncritical insolence. Initialed guardianship and omniscience have been trivial hardly worth mentioning beside the decent and honourable reviews and critiques written in such a way that their words of praise and of dispraise are both valuable to me. My books have been read. Clearly, by evidence of the things that have been said of them. And I have noticed that these critics who have, most clearly, in reading my books, under stood what I aimed at, were inclined to point out that my weak point seemed to be construction. Reviews that were signed (so that I could have an idea from the critics' names of the scales in which I was weighed), and signed by men I could gain something by listening to, knowing their standards; and reviews, unsigned, that showed (by ia terior evidence) th.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shoes of Peace I plead for a neglected bit of the Christian armour. The strong helmet, the sharp sword, the ready shield, - even the shining breastplate, - have many wearers. But the quiet shoes are out of date. I think people well-nigh forget that such things are possible. Yet there stands the injunction: "Your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace" (Eph. vi. 15). While the old and never-revoked promise covers all the roughness, of every road. "Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be" (Deut. xxxiii. 25).

Download or read book Perpetual Peace written by Immanuel Kant and published by Fq Classics. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perpetual Peace is an important essay by Immanuel Kant from 1795 which was originally published as Project for a Perpetual Peace. The original concept of perpetual peace is for peace to be a permanent fixture over a certain specific area or location. In modern times, the concept of world peace directly stems from this original idea of a perpetual peace. In this writing of Kant, he argues in favor of civil constitutions with Republican forms of government, world citizenship, free states, the abolishment of standing armies and for states not being able to use force to interfere with the constitutions or governments of another given state. This is an important work for those studying the idea of world peace and those interested in the writings of Immanuel Kant.

Download or read book A Desert Called Peace written by Tom Kratman and published by Baen Publishing Enterprises. This book was released on 2007-09-01 with total page 1035 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HE RAISED AN ARMY AGAINST THOSE WHO TOOK EVERYTHING FROM HIM They should have picked their enemies more carefully. Five centuries from now, on a remarkably Earthlike planet that is mankind's sole colony in space, religious fanatics called the "Salafi Ikhwan" have murdered the uncle of former colonel Patrick Hennessey. That was their first mistake, because uncle was rich and Hennessey was rather a good colonel. But they also murdered Hennessey's wife, Linda, and their three small children, and that was their worst mistake for she was the only restraint Hennessey had ever accepted. From the pile of rubble and the pillar of fire that mark the last resting place of Linda Hennessey and her children arises a new warrior¾Carrera, scourge of the Salafis. He will forge an army of ruthless fanatics from the decrepit remains of failed state's military. He will wage war across half a world. He will find those who killed his family. He will destroy them, and those who support them, utterly, completely, without restraint or remorse. Only when he is finished will there be peace: the peace of an empty wind as it blows across a desert strewn with the bones of Carrera's enemies. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
Download or read book Peace and Reconciliation in the Classical World written by E. P. Moloney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warfare has long been central to a proper understanding of ancient Greece and Rome, worlds where war was, as the philosopher Heraclitus observed, ‘both king and father of all’. More recently, however, the understanding of Classical antiquity solely in such terms has been challenged; it is recognised that while war was pervasive, and a key concern in the narratives of ancient historians, a concomitant desire for peace was also constant. This volume places peace in the prime position as a panel of scholars stresses the importance of ‘peace’ as a positive concept in the ancient world (and not just the absence of, or necessarily even related to, war), and considers examples of conflict resolution, conciliation, and concession from Homer to Augustine. Comparing and contrasting theories and practice across different periods and regions, this collection highlights, first, the open and dynamic nature of peace, and then seeks to review a wide variety of initiatives from across the Classical world.

Download or read book War and Self Defense written by David Rodin and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2002-10-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When is it right to go to war? The most persuasive answer to this question has always been 'in self-defense'. In a penetrating new analysis, bringing together moral philosophy, political science, and law, David Rodin shows what's wrong with this answer. He proposes a comprehensive new theory of the right of self-defense which resolves many of the perplexing questions that have dogged both jurists and moral philosophers. By applying the theory of self-defense to international relations, Rodin produces a far-reaching critique of the canonical Just War theory. The simple analogy between self-defense and national defense - between the individual and the state - needs to be fundamentally rethought, and with it many of the basic elements of international law and the ethics of international relations.
