The War And The Bible

The War and the Bible is a book written by Hyman Gerson Enelow that explores the relationship between war and the Bible. Enelow, a prominent American rabbi and scholar, examines the biblical texts and their interpretation throughout history to shed light on the role of war in human society. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the biblical texts, including the stories of the Israelites' conquest of Canaan, the wars of the kings of Israel, and the prophetic visions of peace. Enelow explores the different interpretations of these texts throughout history, from the early Christian pacifists to the modern just war theory.The second part of the book examines the impact of war on society and religion. Enelow discusses the psychological and spiritual effects of war on soldiers and civilians, as well as the ways in which war has been used to justify political and religious agendas. He also explores the role of religion in promoting peace and resolving conflicts.Overall, The War and the Bible is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between war and religion. Enelow's insights and analysis offer valuable perspectives on the challenges facing humanity in the quest for peace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
