Book Overview

The Fight For Peace: An Aggressive Campaign For American Churches is a book written by Sidney Lewis Gulick and published in 1915. The book is a call to action for American churches to take an active role in promoting peace and preventing war. Gulick argues that churches have a moral obligation to work towards peace, and that they have the power to influence public opinion and government policy.The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, Gulick discusses the causes of war and the need for peace. He argues that war is a result of human greed and selfishness, and that peace can only be achieved through cooperation and mutual respect.In the second part, Gulick outlines a plan for churches to become more involved in promoting peace. He suggests that churches should form peace committees, hold peace conferences, and work with other organizations to promote peace.In the third part, Gulick addresses some of the objections that may be raised against his plan. He argues that churches should not be afraid to take a stand on political issues, and that promoting peace is consistent with the teachings of Jesus.Overall, The Fight For Peace is a passionate and persuasive argument for the role of churches in promoting peace. It is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the attitudes and beliefs of Americans during a time of war and social change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
