Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Christ and Peace
The writers of these pages cannot, however, consent to the view that the consideration of these questions should be deferred. For themselves they feel the need of stating why they cannot accept what many regard as the demand of a sacred duty. They recognize that far more thought should have been directed to these issues before the war, and they share the blame which rests upon the Church for having failed in this respect. To be silent now, however, would lay them Open to the charge Of moral cowardice and of compromising with their conscience.
Quite apart from personal considerations, which should not in any case be allowed to take precedence at a time like the present, the writers of these essays believe that there are the strongest reasons for handling these problems with courage and courtesy, and that Christianity will lose immeasurably if 'her leaders shrink from the task imposed upon them by the European catastrophe. What is needed is hard thinking, sound reasoning, and, above all, the teach able Spirit to which the mysteries of the unseen world can be revealed.
