Hardcover. 'Ordinary pacifism. .pretends. that the world will be very much the same. .even if the evil will does get its way unchecked' 155 Contents: I. The unrealized hope -- II. Twenty centuries of history -- III. Iran and Israel -- IV. Well-doing and well-being -- V. The end of history -- VI. The familiar miracle -- VII. Left-wing Christianity -- VIII. Pacifism -- IX. What ought we to do? -- 'The most unreasonable attitude of all is that of the people who, without being themselves pacifists, sneer at the ministers of the Christian Church, because they have encouraged men to take up military service and go into the battle. For a Quaker, of course, it is perfectly consistent to condemn Christian ministers who do this, because Quakers believe that such ministers are acting against the teaching of Christ. But for anybody who is not prepared to say that a man who engages in war always does wrong--that the Finns, for instance, are doing wrong in fighting against the Russian aggressor--it shows a singularly warped mind to blame Christian ministers for giving encouragement and spiritual comfort to those who face the ordeal of war, when in fact that ordeal is their duty.'
