Book excerpt: Excerpt from What the Bible Teaches About War and the Christian's Attitude in the Present Crisis But the conquest of Canaan is only partially completed under Joshua, and hence war continues even into David's time. And here again is it often incited by God, who sometimes indicates the plan of warfare, gives signal instances of His presence and favor, and regards with jealousy ascription of the victory to any other than Himself. He teaches my hands to war, says David, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the nations, and sing praises unto thy name. (ps. 39, And so the history continues as every reader of the Old Testament is aware. It is largely a recital of the wars in which Jehovah is the aggressor, either on behalf of His people Israel, or against them when their conduct requires punishment.

Download or read book War in the Bible and Terrorism in the Twenty First Century written by Richard S. Hess and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2008-06-23 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 2004, Denver Seminary’s annual Biblical Studies conference addressed the question of modern war and the teachings of biblical ethics regarding it. The conference was envisioned as a collaborative effort between the Association for Christian Conferences, Teaching, and Service (ACCTS), and the Biblical Studies division of Denver Seminary. A year earlier, the invasion of Iraq had taken place. The questions created by the outbreak of war prompted an urgency in the consideration of the topic. ACCTS, which sponsors international symposia in military ethics with officers from armed forces around the globe, provided ethicists and practitioners from within the military of both the U.S. and Great Britain. Hess and Martens also solicited papers from leading theologians and advocates representing pacifist and just-war views. They have succeeded in bringing together in this fine volume a group of Christians representing a wide range of perspectives to debate and discuss their heritage and biblical roots with regard to questions of war and its ethical dilemmas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and the Bible In every country the Great War has created not merely military and economic problems, but also spiritual problems of many aspects. M. Henri Bergson has remarked that upon the outbreak of the war, France at once changed spiritually - she became like a cathedral, solemn and grave. No one who was in France in those fateful days of August, 1914, could escape that transformation. The air was charged with spiritual awe. A similar effect the War has had in every other country touched by it, though, of course, each has expressed it in its own way. It is not certain to what degree we have been spiritually affected by the War. Perhaps there has not yet been that impact upon our mind and soul, that challenge, that catharsis, which others have experienced, and which has found voice in so many of the literary productions of the past four years. But that it is sure to come, there is not the shadow of a doubt. "Man liveth not by bread alone" - this the War has proved anew.

Download or read book The Problem of War in the Old Testament written by Peter C. Craigie and published by Grand Rapids : Eerdmans. This book was released on 1978 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The predominance of war in the Old Testament troubles many Christians. However it is an issue that must be faced, says Peter C. Craigie, because it has serious ramifications for contemporary Christian attitudes about war. Professor Craigie categorizes the problems into two kinds - personal and external. The personal problems arise from the Christian's attempt to grapple with the emphasis on war in a book fundamental to faith. Three areas are considered here: the representation of God as warrior; God's revelation of himself in a book which preserves an extensive amount of war literature; and the seemingly conflicting ethics taught in the Old Testament and the New Testament. The external problems are critiques against the Bible and the Christian faith, based on the war-like nature of the Old Testament and the close association between Christianity and war throughout history. Only by examining and understanding the problem of war in the Old Testament will Christians be able to respond intelligently to attacks on their faith, to educate their youth in the nature of war, and to influence modern attitudes toward war. Peter C. Craigie was Academic Vice-President of the University of Calgary, professor of religious studies, and authored The Book of Deuteronomy in the New International Commentary on the Old Testament series (Eerdmans). "Dr. Craigie is acutely aware of the ethical problems posed by his subject, and his study should be helpful to others who are equally aware of these problems. I am glad to commend this book." - F. F. Bruce University of Manchester "Professor Craigie approaches a difficult subject in an irenic, open manner, conveying both his grasp of the subject matter and his deep concern as a theologian and churchman for helping lay people think about a troubling problem in a fresh way. . . . Any person or group seeking to wrestle with the problem of war in the Old Testament will find Craigie's thoughtful study one of the most helpful resources available." - Patrick D. Miller, Jr. Princeton Theological Seminary

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can a Christian conscientiously take part in modern war, a war that would undoubtedly result in the utter annihilation of tens of thousands of innocent persons - possibly a large part of the entire human race?

It is the Biblical realism of this book that makes it such a deep and prophetic contribution to the subject.
