Publisher's Synopsis
""Christianity Versus War: A Presentation Of Scriptural And Christian Teaching Upon The Subject Of Carnal Warfare And The Taking Of Human Life"" by Daniel Crouse Moomaw is a book that explores the relationship between Christianity and war. The author presents a thorough examination of scriptural and Christian teachings on the subject of carnal warfare and the taking of human life. The book argues that Christianity is fundamentally opposed to war and violence, and that Christians should strive to live in peace and harmony with one another. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the relationship between Christianity and war. The first chapter provides an overview of the book's main arguments and introduces the reader to some of the key concepts and ideas that will be discussed throughout the book. The second chapter examines the biblical basis for the Christian opposition to war. The author looks at various passages from the Old and New Testaments that speak to the issue of war and violence, and argues that the Bible clearly teaches that war is not in line with God's will. The third chapter explores the history of Christian pacifism, from the early church to the present day. The author looks at the lives and teachings of various Christian pacifists, and argues that their example provides a powerful witness to the idea that war is not compatible with Christian faith.
