E-text prepared by Irma Spehar and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The War and the Churches" by Joseph McCabe is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. The book examines the role of Christian churches during the war and questions their influence on international morality and peace. McCabe explores the implications of Christianity on military conflicts, particularly focusing on the apparent contradiction between the teachings of peace in Christianity and the occurrence of the war. The opening of the work reflects McCabe's concerns about the apparent failure of Christian teachings to prevent the war, alongside a historical critique of how the Church has dealt with violence and militarism throughout its history. He raises pivotal questions regarding the apparent moral decay within Christian nations and debates whether the churches hold any considerable responsibility for the current state of the world, marked by conflict and suffering. By highlighting contradictions in Christian doctrine and practice, McCabe sets the stage for a critical analysis of the church's inaction in the face of escalating militarism, suggesting that a deeper examination of religious and ethical foundations is necessary.
