Religion and the War by Yale University. Divinity School
"Religion and the War" by members of the Faculty of the School of Religion, Yale University, is a collective work produced around the late 19th century to early 20th century, specifically focused on the moral and spiritual implications of war during World War I. This book presents a series of essays edited by E. Hershey Sneath, aiming to explore the intersection of religion, ethics, and the war. The authors discuss the challengingquestions regarding the role of Christianity in addressing the chaotic socio-political landscape of the time, with an eye toward moral righteousness and social justice. The opening of "Religion and the War" lays the groundwork for understanding the complex relationship between religious faith and wartime ethics. It critiques the perceived apathy of spiritual leaders during a time of global crisis, questioning why more was not done by religious institutions to prevent the war. The text examines various moral and philosophical frameworks, asserting that spirituality must contend with the harsh realities of conflict and human nature. Through its compelling rhetoric, the introduction sets up a discourse on the role of faith in the pursuit of justice and the urgent need for a worldwide moral awakening in the face of warfare, ultimately exploring the hope that religion can provide in dark times.
