Is Preparedness For War Unchristian? (1916)

By Len G. Broughton and Len G. (Len Gaston) Broughton

Book Overview

""Is Preparedness for War Unchristian?"" is a thought-provoking book written by Len Gaston Broughton in 1916. In this book, the author explores the question of whether or not the idea of preparing for war is in conflict with Christian values. Broughton delves into the historical and philosophical roots of pacifism and militarism, examining the arguments for and against each perspective. He also draws on his own experiences as a Christian minister and a veteran of the Boer War to provide insight into the complexities of the issue. Ultimately, Broughton concludes that while war is a tragic and terrible thing, it is sometimes necessary to defend one's country and way of life. However, he also argues that Christians must strive for peace and work towards resolving conflicts through diplomatic means whenever possible. This book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between religion and politics, and remains relevant today as the world continues to grapple with issues of war 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.
