If they have not surface sequence, they do have essential connection in their purpose to give light and strength to our people as aids to victory. All of them were spoken as sermons at home. Then, being called for, were repeated and somewhat expanded. They were given to Preachers' Meetings in New York, and to various clubs, among them the Rotary Club, the New York Republican Club and the Lawyers' Club of New York. In March, 1918, several of them were spoken to the eight thousand public school teachers of Chicago, and at various times to numerous popular assemblies. Everywhere they were called for in printed form and it was urged that so prepared they would multiply their influence for good. The Rotary Club of New York published one, circulating thousands of copies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and the War We give our own experience on the subject under consideration in the belief that it reflects the experience of a large number in the Christian community, and this with-5 out much regard to sectarian relations. We suddenly find ourselves without any matured principles to guide us in the most trying crisis in the history of the nation and we can recall instances in which, with more or less of explicitness, we have committed ourselves to a policy which a severe test assures us to be wholly inadequate. Hence the change of conviction and, to a much greater extent, of feeling which has come over us. We are free to confess that We have been in the habit of over-estimating the civilization of the age and the country in which we live. Years ago we learned from Gibbon what might be expected of barbarians. But we indulged the hope that the Goths and Vandals belonged only to the early time. We did not expect that an Alaric could come from the land that had given birth to a Washington. The humilia-a ting fact of slavery, of property in man, was indeed before us; and a class of teachers insisted with tolerably severe logic, that a man who would appropriate to his own use the unpaid toil of another, could scruple at nothing. But we had personal acquaintances among slave-holders, and knew that such. An inference, however conclusive as a matter of logic, was not just in point of fact. We could give the names of slave-holders who, aside from what is involved in the fact of being slave-holders, would neither lie, nor steal, nor do an inhuman act.

Download or read book War This War and the Sermon on the Mount Classic Reprint written by B. H. Streeter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War, This War and the Sermon on the Mount Love your enemies, ' verily and indeed - but it is also written, thou shalt love thy neighbour.' Take as literally as you like the words, If a man smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also - yet there is one thing they cannot mean If a man smite thy sister on the cheek look the other way.' If a wanton injury is threatened to one weaker than myself and I have power to prevent that injury, then, if I fail to exercise that power, I become morally a particeps criminis, and no casuistry can absolve me from complicity in the injury itself. No act is more essentially Christlike than the deliverance of the oppressed. Even if in a particular case the threatened party would be willing in the name of Christ to submit to the injury, it is no whit less my duty to prevent the wrong being done - if possible by persuasion, if not by force. The knight-errant riding the world in search of distressed damsels to succour is as good a Christian as the Quaker literally turning the other cheek. If possible by persuasion, if not by force I have written, but it is just to the addition of the words by force that many thoughtful men, Christian and other wise, will demur. Can force ever, it is asked, prevent wrong And, if so, under what circumstances and with what limitations? On the answer to this depends the answer to the further question whether a Christian can ever justify war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Accordancy of War With the Principles of Christianity: And an Examination of the Philosophical Reasoning by Which It Is Defended The object of the following pages, is to give a view of the principal arguments which maintain the indefensibility and impolicy of war, and to examine the reasoning which is advanced in its favour. The author has not found, either in those works which treat exclusively of war, or in those which refer to it as part of a general system, any examination of the question that embraced it in all its bearings. In these pages, therefore, he has attempted, not only to inquire into its accordancy with Christian principles, and to enforce the obl' tion of these principles, but to discuss those objections to t advo cate of peace which are advanced by philosophy, and to examine into the authority of those which are enforced by the power of habit, and by popular opinion.

Even the texts make it possible to present the other view. The essential elements of Christianity, as it appears to intelligent non-christian races, are that it inculcates the sacrifice of everything in a righteous cause, and that its Founder was a man who gave his life for other men; and are not these thetwofaotswhioharejusttheredeemingsideofwar?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Is Preparedness for War Unchristian? But there is a change coming over the world. Men everywhere are coming to see that a religion without a revelation is a civilization without a compassion: and such civilization means death to the world. Destructive criticism of the Bible is dead to - day, because we have seen its fruit in anarchy and ruin. Again, we see good coming from the collapse of what has been called ethical salvation as op posed to the old gospel of salvation by grace. Germany has taken the lead in this teaching also. From her universities she has flooded the world with the Gospel of Ethics, viz., salvation by char acter. But there is a change here also. Men have come to see its fruitage in the most nu ethical war that has ever been seen: and the world is turning from it back to Christ who taught men that they must be born again. We have seen that an ethic that will not work in war, cannot work in religion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and Politics During the last year there has also been fresh recognition of religion as a force in political life; for a century and more there had been a tendency to wave it aside and discard it as no longer a matter of public concern. The persistence of the philanthropists was not indeed wholly forgotten, and Christianity was expected to interfere with the internal affairs of the nation, and to rouse the national conscience on such questions as the sweating of labour and the improvement of hons ing. Apart, however, from social reform, religion seemed to many men to be a matter of private concern, and no one regarded it as entering di rectly into the field of international politics. With the stress and anxiety of war all this is changed, and Christianity has taken its rightful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Christ and War Classic Reprint written by William Ernest Wilson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christ and War The author, in common with all who desire peace between the nations, owes a debt of gratitude to Norman Angell. For, whether one agrees or disagrees with his arguments in The Great Illusion, it is undeniable that he has brought the question of peace and war prominently and freshly before the public in this and other countries. 80 that peace advocates no longer speak to deaf ears. Hitherto they have found the public unwilling to listen to them, and inclined to view their theories as a mild form of insanity. The Great Illusion has changed this attitude by showing that between civilised states war can bring no gain to the victor, and, under certain circumstances, may damage him even more than the vanquished. At once per petual peace has become an ideal which the practical man can recognise as capable of realisation. The Christian and humanitarian peace advocacy claimed that war is wrong and should therefore be abolished. At this the practical man shook his head and said, War is certainly horrible; it is bad; but it is necessary. It is part of the nature of things; you can't abolish it. Now, if Norman Angell is right in his main contentions, it is no longer possible to say that war cannot be abolished. For it is clearly to the advantage of all men to abolish it; all that stands in the way is human ignorance and prejudice and in every department of life these are constantly being overcome.

Download or read book War Peace and Christianity written by J. Daryl Charles and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2010-05-13 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With issues of war and peace at the forefront of current events, an informed Christian response is needed. This timely volume answers 104 questions from a just-war perspective, offering thoughtful yet succinct answers. Ranging from the theoretical to the practical, the volume looks at how the just-war perspective relates to the philosopher, historian, statesman, theologian, combatant, and individual—with particular emphases on its historical development and application to contemporary geopolitical challenges. Forgoing ideological extremes, Charles and Demy give much attention to the biblical teaching on the subject as they provide moral guidance. A valuable resource for considering the ethical issues relating to war, Christians will find this book's user-friendly format a helpful starting point for discussion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Defensive War: Proved to Be a Denial of Christianity and of the Government of God; With Illustrative Facts and Anecdotes I entreat all who may peruse this little work to do so in a spirit of kindness and candor. If defensive war necessarily involves the principles and practices which I have attributed to it, then the most superficial thinker and reader must admit that my conclu sions are sound. I have not been particular in classifying my facts and arguments; but I have endeavoured to bring them all to bear upon the object of the work, which is to establish the con viction in the minds of my readers, that war is irreconcilable with Christianity, While I bow to the divine authority of Christi anity, as a peaceful, bloodless instrumentality, appointed and. Approved of God to regenerate and redeem the world, I denounce all religion that sanctions war whether offensive or defensive.
