"The War and the Gospel: Sermons and Addresses During the Present War" by Henry Wace is a collection of sermons and addresses written in the early 20th century, specifically during the First World War. This work reflects the theological and moral considerations associated with the impacts of war, offering solace and guidance to those affected by the tumultuous events of the time. The text interprets the significance of war through the lens of Christian faith, underscoring themes of hope, redemption, and the enduring presence of the Gospel. The opening portion of the book establishes the context in which Wace delivers his sermons, explicitly linking the message of the Gospel with the catastrophic experiences of the Great War. In his addresses, he highlights the contrast between the promise of peace heralded at Christmas and the harsh realities of conflict. Wace emphasizes the notion of Christ as a savior amidst suffering, arguing that true peace can only be realized through a heartfelt connection to Christ's teachings and sacrifices. He expresses a deep conviction that the struggles of the present age could lead to spiritual renewal and a truer understanding of divine goodwill, which is particularly salient in the face of overwhelming adversity.
