The
director of the Francis Wayland Institute, Laurence M. Vance, is the author of
the controversial book (in some Christian circles), Christianity and War and Other Essays Against the
Warfare State. The book consists of 79 essays, organized under
the headings of Christianity and War, War and Peace, The Military, Christianity
and the Military, The Iraq War, Other Wars, and The
U.S. Global Empire, that have one underlying theme: opposition to the warfare state
that robs us of our money, our liberty, and in some cases our life. Although
many of these essays reference contemporary events, the principles discussed in
all of them are timeless: war, militarism, empire, interventionism, the warfare
state, and the Christian attitude toward these things. It is the author’s
contention that Christian enthusiasm for the state, its wars, and its
politicians is an affront to the Saviour, contrary to Scripture, and a
demonstration of the profound ignorance many Christians have of history. Reviews
