The Christian Sanction of War

The Christian Sanction of War is a wartime address by Henry Wace (1836-1924), Dean of Canterbury and formerly Principal of King’s College London. Speaking as the First World War tested every Christian conscience, Wace argues the case that a nation may wage righteous war, answering both pacifists and German theological apologists from his standing as a veteran controversialist of the church.
