Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book grapples with the complex ethical dilemmas faced by individuals living in times of civil war. Using the tumultuous reign of King Edward the Fourth as a historical backdrop, the author delves into the fundamental questions of right and wrong when faced with conflicting loyalties, shifting allegiances, and the seemingly unavoidable need to choose sides. Exploring the nature of law and obligation, the author examines the tension between natural law, divine law, and human law, particularly as they relate to the power of rulers, the rights of individuals, and the legitimacy of war. Drawing upon examples from scripture, classical philosophy, and historical events, the author examines the justification for obeying a tyrannical government, paying taxes to an usurper, and swearing oaths to conflicting factions. The book delves deep into the moral implications of wartime actions, considering the weight of personal conscience in the face of seemingly insurmountable societal pressures. It offers a unique perspective on the philosophical and theological challenges presented by conflict, ultimately prompting readers to contemplate the delicate balance between individual duty and the need for collective peace and order.
