“If the tradition which claims that war may be justified does not also admit that it could be unjustified, the affirmation is not morally serious. A Christian who prepares the case for a justified war without being equally prepared for hte negative case has not soberly weighted the prima facie presumption that any violence is wrong until the case for an exception has been made.” IfsMayDoeHas BeensMadeWarChristianCasesViolenceSeriousNegativeTraditionClaimsPreparedExceptionAffirmationJustifiedPresumptionBeing EqualUnjustified Author:John Howard
“The believer's cross is no longer any and every kind of suffering, sickness, or tension, the bearing of which is demanded. The believer's cross must be, like his Lord's, the price of his social nonconformity. It is not, like sickness or catastrophe, an inexplicable, unpredictable suffering; it is the end of the path freely chosen after counting the cost. It is not, like Luther's or Thomas Muntzer's or Zinzendorf's or Kierkegaard's cross, an inward wrestling of the sensitive soul with self and sin; it is the social reality of representing in an unwilling world the Order to come.” WorldKindSoulEndsSelfRealitySufferingOrderSocialSinLordPathCostCrossesBelieverChosenSensitiveTensionSicknessWrestlingInwardCatastropheUnpredictableLutherCountingUnwillingRepresentingNonconformityInexplicableCounting The Cost Author:John Howard
