Publisher's Synopsis
Address On The Truth, Dignity, Power And Beauty Of The Principles Of Peace, And On The Unchristian Character And Influence Of War And The Warrior is a book written by Thomas Smith Grimke in 1832. The book is a passionate plea for peace and an indictment of war and the warrior mentality. Grimke argues that war is fundamentally unchristian and that it is incompatible with the principles of peace, justice, and love that are central to Christianity.The book is divided into two parts. The first part explores the principles of peace and their importance for human society. Grimke argues that peace is not simply the absence of war, but a positive state of being that requires active effort to achieve. He discusses the role of religion in promoting peace, and argues that the Christian faith is uniquely suited to this task.The second part of the book is a critique of war and the warrior mentality. Grimke argues that war is a destructive force that undermines the moral and spiritual values that are essential for human flourishing. He criticizes the glorification of war in popular culture, and argues that the warrior mentality is fundamentally unchristian.Overall, Address On The Truth, Dignity, Power And Beauty Of The Principles Of Peace, And On The Unchristian Character And Influence Of War And The Warrior is a powerful and eloquent defense of peace and a condemnation of war.
