The Sword Or The Cross: Which Should Be The Weapon Of The Christian Militant? (1921) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781104921552)

""The Sword Or The Cross: Which Should Be The Weapon Of The Christian Militant?"" is a book written by Kirby Page in 1921. The book explores the question of whether Christians should use violence, represented by the sword, or non-violent means, represented by the cross, in their efforts to spread their faith and defend their beliefs. Page examines the historical and theological arguments for both sides, drawing on examples from the Bible and from Christian history, as well as contemporary events such as World War I. He also considers the practical implications of each approach, including the effects on personal morality, social justice, and international relations.Throughout the book, Page advocates for a pacifist approach to Christianity, arguing that violence is incompatible with the teachings of Jesus and that non-violent resistance is a more effective means of achieving lasting change. He also acknowledges the challenges and complexities of this position, and offers practical advice for Christians seeking to live out their faith in a world that often values power and aggression.Overall, ""The Sword Or The Cross"" is a thought-provoking and challenging exploration of one of the most fundamental questions facing Christians today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
