Religion and the War

"Religion and the War" by members of the Faculty of the School of Religion, Yale University, is a collection of writings from around the time of World War I that looks at the big questions about what war means for religion and doing what's right. Edited by E. Hershey Sneath, the book goes into how Christianity should deal with the messy world situation, always aiming for what's morally correct and fair in society. It begins by pointing out how some people thought religious leaders weren't doing enough to stop the war, wondering why religious groups didn't do more. The book looks at different ideas about right and wrong, saying that religion needs to face the tough facts of war and what people are really like. The writings then build a conversation about what faith has to do with seeking justice, pushing for everyone worldwide to wake up to what's morally right in the face of war, ending with a view on the hope that religion can give during tough times.
