To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The apostle Paul reprobates this maxim in the severest terms, and he considered it the greatest scandal of Christian character to be accused of approving it : "As we be slanderously reported," says he, '*and as some affirm that we say. Let us do evil that good may come; whose damnation is just.*' Now if war is in fact an evil, and it is prosecuted with a view to attain some good, then going to war is doing evil that good may come. It is therefore doing that which scandalizes Christian character... ; that which is wholly irreconcilable with the principles of the gos- pel, and which it is highly criminal for any man or nation to do.
XI. WAR IS OPPOSED TO THE EXAMPLE OF THE SON OF GOD, AND IS THEREFORE CRIMINAL The example of the Son of God is the only perfect model of moral excellence, and his moral conduct, so far as he acted as man, remains a perfect example fow Christians.
But did he appear in this world as a great mili- tary character, wearing a sword of steel, clothed with THE RELIGION OF JESUS CHRIST 73 military finery, and surrounded by glittering soldiers, marching in the pomp and parade of a warrior ?
