“Nonviolent action on behalf of justice is no automatic forumla with promise of success: but neither is war. After all, at least half of the people who go to war for some cause deemed worthy of it are defeated.”
― John Howard Yoder, When War is Unjust: Being Honest in Just-War Thinking
― John Howard Yoder, When War is Unjust: Being Honest in Just-War Thinking
“The cross is not a detour or a hurdle on the way to the kingdom, nor is it even the way to the kingdom; it is the kingdom come.”
― John Howard Yoder, The Politics of Jesus: Vicit Agnus Noster
― John Howard Yoder, The Politics of Jesus: Vicit Agnus Noster
“If the tradition which claims that war may be justified does not also admit that it could be unjustified, the affirmation is not morally serious. A Christian who prepares the case for a justified war without being equally prepared for hte negative case has not soberly weighted the prima facie presumption that any violence is wrong until the case for an exception has been made.”
