Raven’s theological case for Christian pacifism, arguing that modern war forces sincere Christians to confront faith rather than accept either shallow liberalism or post–World War II crisis-oriented neo-orthodoxy. It traces hope and action rooted in ancient Christian belief as the basis for a response to modern conflict. Included are the Robert Treat Paine Lectures for 1950 and Raven’s prefatory explanation of the circumstances under which the lectures were written and

The Theological\n\nBasis ofChristian Pacifism  \nCHARLES E.RAVEN,D.D.  \nSincere Christians,deeply dis-turbed by the implications of mod-ern war for their faith,too oftenhave felt that the only choice avail-able was between a theology of‘shallow liberalism''and Neo-orthodoxy's post-World War Ⅱtheology of crisis and despair.Thechoice is not so limited,writesCambridge University's EmeritusRegius Professor of Divinity.Thereis a theology of hope and actionthat springs from the roots of theancient Christian faith—a theologyout of which grows the answerof Christian pacifism to modernwar.A book of tremendous andchallenging implications.  \nDigitized by the Internet Archivein 2022 with funding fromKahle/Austin Foundation  \nhttps://archive.org/details/theologicalbasis0000unse  \n## THE

NOTE\n\nTHESE lectures had to be written during the monthsof almost continuous movement while I was finishingmy work and moving out of my house in Christ's Collegeor travelling round the world.Sixty-five kilos of baggagefor winter in Australia and New Zealand and summer inthe United States left no room for any books except aBible;even paper and ink were sometimes a problem.Ifthe result is lamentably scrappy,I believe that it never-theless represents a coherent and arguable theology andthat some at least of its bits and pieces are important andchallenging.My gratitude to my colleagues,my hosts,and my audiences for their share in what was a fascinatingand (dare I say it?)rejuvenating experience ought to havebeen expressed in a more comely volume.  \nFor the present edition only such few changes in lan-guage and spelling have been made as will render thelectures appropriate to British readers.
