基督徒本該愛鄰如己,當中還包含了敵人,然而真要愛人如己卻是知易行難,當夙怨與榮譽兩者皆為世間常道,將之付諸實行更是難上加難。本書以義法德英四國為底,紀錄羅馬天主教、路德教派、英國聖公會以及喀爾文教派的歷史,闡述十六世紀宗教改革至十八世紀期間,教會抑或基督教教義以民眾而非國家為活動媒介,締造和平的艱辛過程。
Christians are supposed to love their neighbours, including their enemies. This is never easy. When feud and honour are common realities, it is even harder than usual.
This book sketches the history of peace-making between people (not countries) as an activity of churches or of Christianity between the Reformation and the eighteenth century. The story is recounted in four countries (Italy, France, Germany, and England) and in several religious settings (including Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Church of England, and Calvinist). Each version is a variation upon a theme: what the author calls a 'moral tradition' which contrasts, as a continuing imperative, with the novelties of theory and practice introduced by the sixteenth-century reformers. In general the topic has much to say about the destinies of Christianity in each country, and more widely, and strikes a chord which will resonate in both the social and the religious history of the West.
