from the back cover of the book:,
This review is from: The Lion's Pride: America and the Peaceable Community (Paperback)
America is at a critical moment in its history. Behind us lies Vietnam, Hiroshima, a legacy of war. Clearly, in this nuclear age, our future -- our very survival -- depends on our ability to break our "war habit."
But obstacles stand in the way. One of them, incredibly, is religion. In THE LIONS' PRIDE Leonard Sweet focuses on the sometimes all-too-cozy relationship in America between religion and war. Sweet takes a close look at America's "with God on our side" militarism, examining its historical origins and consequences. Employing both historical and biblical perspectives, THE LION'S PRIDE offers fresh, powerful insights into: * America's dominant war mentality * How our war language affects our war thinking * How Christian peacemaking can be realistically "put to work" in a frighteningly sinful and complex world. An indispensable resource for every Christian who desires a workable vision of peace in this nuclear age. |
