Christianity Versus War

"Christianity Versus War" is a profound theological exploration of the inherent contradictions between the teachings of Jesus Christ and the practice of organized warfare. Written by Elder D. C. Moomaw, this work serves as a passionate defense of Christian pacifism and the principle of non-resistance. The author examines biblical scriptures, moral philosophy, and the historical context of the early church to argue that true followers of Christianity are called to a path of peace rather than the sword.

Drawing upon the Sermon on the Mount and other core New Testament doctrines, the book challenges the justifications often used by nations and religious institutions to sanction military conflict. Moomaw addresses the psychological and spiritual toll of war, advocating for a global brotherhood rooted in divine love and compassion. This text provides a significant historical perspective on the peace movements of the early twentieth century, offering readers a rigorous examination of conscience and faith. It remains a compelling resource for those interested in Christian ethics, peace studies, and the intersection of religion and social justice.
