War and Christianity in a Just Peace Debate
The essay weighs whether war can align with Christian principles and whether peace societies like the Quakers deserve higher esteem for moral action. It argues nonresistance may be distant, but urges reducing war’s horrors and questions if statesmen should strive to live up to Christ’s teachings despite inevitable conflict. It cites Roosevelt and Bonaparte to gauge the limits of peace activism.
