Reviews

[Glenn Crouch · Rating 1 out of 5]

On reading the Introduction I thought that this would be a good book looking at such things as Pacifism, Justifiable Warfare, difference between Individuals and Governments when it comes to violence, etc. However as I got into this book I was sadly quite disappointed. The Author has a very right-wing and dispensational viewpoint that he seems to assume all Christians should have, and constantly proclaims that his interpretation is the only proper way to read the Bible. I am no pacifist, I wasn't expecting how aggressive this book came across to me - and have to admit I found it difficult to read. So am not likely to read other things by this author - at least not for some time.

The book is also quite dated, with lots of anti-Soviet rants - I also find it hard to believe he argues for the survivability of a Global Nuclear War.
