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 the challenge it presents to faith. The author 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, Jesus Christ. Smyth delves into the root causes of the war, including nationalism, militarism, and imperialism, and how they are connected to spiritual issues such as pride, greed, and selfishness. The book also discusses the role of religion in the war and how it has been used to justify violence and aggression. Overall, ""The Heart of the War"" is a thought-provoking examination of the spiritual dimensions of World War I and a call for a new way of thinking about conflict and peace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
