- Summary
- "Frost (Swarthmore College) has written widely about peace and Quakers. Here he compiles perspectives from the major world religions on war and peace for general readers who are not specialists in the history of religions, the evolution of wars, the relationship between the two, but are interested in how faith communities in the past dealt with issues similar to those in effect now. In addition, he says particular chapters could be used in undergraduate courses and seminars. Volume two focuses on what it calls a century of wars, from World War I into the post-Cold-War era. The two volumes are paged together, and the index and bibliography for both are contained in each." -- Amazon.
