Excerpt from The Princeton Seminary Bulletin, 2002, Vol. 23
Now the point is not who said that. So do not believe it or dismiss it because the author was Karl Barth. The point is that it represents an appropriate attitude of mind in the presence of the God who ascends to the throne and exercises sovereignty over the earth through his chosen mediator.
I do not presume to speak for each of you, but I tell you that when I witnessed the implosion of the Twin Towers last Tuesday morning and realized the number of people who were losing their lives before my very eyes, I did not want to hear from the announcer or the political pundits who would soon fill the airwaves. I did not want to hear from the President of the United States or the Secretary of State or the Secretary of Defense. In that moment I wanted and needed to hear God speak - the interpretative word, the redeeming word, the hopeful word. And so have countless others who turned immediately to the churches for impromptu prayer services.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of war ethics as examined through the lenses of three major world religions: Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. The author, an esteemed scholar in religious ethics, offers a deep analysis of the religious motivations behind warfare, exploring the historical, cultural, and theological factors that have shaped the ethical perspectives of these faith traditions. The book examines the concept of holy war, the role of divine guidance in military conflicts, and the ethical limits imposed on the conduct of war within each religious framework. By engaging with the writings of religious leaders, historical documents, and modern scholarship, this book provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the ways in which religion has shaped the moral dimensions of war throughout history, shedding light on the complex interplay between faith, violence, and the quest for justice.
