For the Peace from on High by James H. Forest Book PDF Summary
A unique collection of texts on war, peace and nationalism from an Orthodox Christian perspective. Relevant texts from holy scripture, church canons, liturgical services, church fathers, official church statements and contemporary authors are presented in an accessible and logical way, and accompanied by a number of case studies that look at certain issues in greater detail. Several texts are published for the first time, or for the first time in English (such as the decisions of the third pan-Orthodox conference in Chambésy, 1986 on the contribution of the Orthodox church to peace). Includes an extensive bibliography on all subjects.
