Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These twelve essays, organized under the headings of Christianity and War, The Evils of War, Specific Wars, and The U.S. Global Empire, have one underlying theme: opposition to the warfare state that robs us of our liberty, our money, and in some cases our life. Although many of these essays reference contemporary events, the principlesdiscussed in all of them are timeless: war, militarism, empire, interventionism, the warfare state, and the Christian attitude toward these things. It is the author?s contention that Christian enthusiasm forthe state, its wars, and its politicians is an affront to the Saviour, contrary to Scripture, and a demonstration of the profound ignorancemany Christians have of history.
