Description: This book presents a compelling condemnation of war and a passionate plea for peace. Written by Dutch humanist scholar Erasmus of Rotterdam during a period of intense international strife, it reflects the realities of early 16th-century Europe. Erasmus decries the devastating consequences of conflict, arguing that war is contrary to Christ's teachings and the principles of Christianity. He contrasts the brutality and senselessness of war with the virtues of peace, harmony, and unity. The author employs scriptural references, historical examples, and personal observations to reinforce his pacifist message. Throughout the book, Erasmus urges Christians to embrace peace and goodwill towards all, emphasizing that true strength lies not in military might but in compassion, understanding, and reconciliation. The book's insights into the horrors of war and the importance of peace remain relevant today, offering a timeless meditation on the human condition and the need for a more just and harmonious world.
