Description
Originally published in 1935, this volume Is War Obsolete? A Study of the Conflicting Claims of Religion and Citizenship is based on the Halley Stewart Lectures presented in 1934 and examines the responsibility of Christians for peace. It aims to reconsider the basis of Christian Pacifism and to appeal to those in the Churches to make up their minds on the issue and to act upon their decisions. The approach is that of the individual rather than the community, and of religion and ethics more than politics or philosophy.
