Publisher's Synopsis
""The Heart of the War: The War as a Challenge to Faith, Its Spiritual Causes, Its Call for a New Allegiance to the Prince of Peace"" is a book written by Julian Kennedy Smyth in 1914. The book explores the spiritual causes of World War I and challenges readers to examine their faith in the face of such a catastrophic event. Smyth argues that the war is not just a physical conflict, but a spiritual one as well, and that it is a call for a new allegiance to the Prince of Peace. Throughout the book, Smyth delves into the underlying causes of the war, including nationalism, imperialism, and militarism. He also examines the role of religion in the conflict, arguing that it has been misused to justify violence and war. Smyth calls for a return to the true teachings of Christianity, which emphasize peace, love, and forgiveness. Overall, ""The Heart of the War"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to examine their own beliefs and values in the face of war and conflict.
