Before forces are mustered, weapons amassed, or battlelines drawn, the conflict has already arisen; the material and physical fighting and destruction which follow are but the extension of this initial, spiritual rebellion. “Man revolting against God,” declares Fulton J. Sheen, “is the miniature of the war of man revolting against his fellowman.” In \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWhence Come Wars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Sheen bluntly reckons with both causes of war and what can constrain humanity from waging it. Neither ideology, nor economics, nor politics, compel one nation to fight against another, but rather the fruit of original sin—mankind’s fall from grace—sets brother against brother in warfare’s duel of death. The antidote to this poison, the cessation of conflict, can be found only in God: without the return to God and the rebirth of the spirit of prayer, mankind will not know peace.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally published in 1940, as the beginnings of World War II wreaked havoc across the globe, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWhence Come Wars\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eexamines bluntly and clearly the reasons for war, whether it can be waged justly or unjustly, and what are the proper remedies for the wounds which it inevitably inflicts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fidelity Books and Pieties","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52185744671001,"sku":"WCW-CM","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/0989\/5705\/files\/71fk8pdsSvL._SL1500.jpg?v=1775012812"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/0989\/5705\/collections\/ImageHandler.jpg?v=1687090162","url":"https:\/\/www.fidelitybooks.com.au\/collections\/sheen-mgr-fulton-j.oembed?page=3","provider":"Fidelity Books and Pieties","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
