Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Christ and War Dear Mr. Wilson, - This book which you have written interests me by its method as well as in its subject. It is refreshing to find that you still believe in the validity of the prophetic teachings, and that you do not regard them as entirely displaced by the findings of modem economics, however much we may value and appreciate the corroborations and co-operations of the latter. You still find room in your teaching of peace for Isaiah - and for Jesus! Well! I think you are quite right in this, and that the method does not need much apologetic. If an inspired man tells us that we are not to learn war any more, it is quite safe to annotate him with the remark that "to this feature we must all come," even if we are painted inches thick with military red. It is the Isaian Quixotism and the Quaker Philadelphianism that is going to win. If the Buddha really said that "never does hatred cease by hate: hatred ceases by love, that is its nature," then he too has shown us the way out and the way up. As soon as one begins to put this thought into action, the Quixotic labels are brought out: they will be put upon your book, my good friend, as thickly as the continental hotel-keeper distributes his advertisements on one´s travelling trunk. It is clear that you are Quixotic all over. But let us look at the matter a little more closely. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
