Freedom from Violence
Sectarian Nonresistance from the Middle Ages to the Great War
Description:... Brock traces the history of a long line of Christian sects that have rejected both the violence involved in war and the violence involved in the administration of the state, concluding the story with the outbreak of the Great War in 1914. He discusses groups such as the North American Mennonites' conscientious objectors during the American Revolution and the Civil War, the Antitrinitarians of Poland, the Nazarenes of Hungary, Church of Brethren, and the Seventh-day Adventists.
