In articles written before, during, and just after World War I, G. K. Chesterton describes what has gone wrong with Germany and warns that, if the nation is not forced to change, this war will followed by a still more horrible war. He criticizes attempts to maintain the peace advocated by internationalists, militarists, and pacifists. (The policies he advocated were similar to NATO and Cold War containment.) He harshly criticizes Teutonism, a then-fashionable form of racism that would mutate into Nazi racism, making him one of Nazism's first critics. The articles have comments explaining the context in which Chesterton wrote. Appendices contain remarks about war from Thomas Aquinas, Winston Churchill, Norman Angell, Bernard Shaw, Bertrand Russell, Mahatma Gandhi, and H. G. Wells.

This book is the first detailed discussion of the impact of the First World War on English theology. Assessing the close relationships between English and German theologians before the First World War, Chapman then explores developments throughout the war. A series of case studies make use of a large amount of unpublished material, showing how some theologians sought to maintain relationships with their German colleagues, while others, especially from a more Anglo-Catholic perspective, used the war as an opportunity to distance themselves from the liberal theology which was beginning to dominate the universities before the war. The increasing animosity between Britain and Germany meant that relations were never healed. English theology became increasingly insular, dividing between a more home-grown variety of liberalism and an ascendant Anglo-Catholicism. Consequently, this book offers useful insights into the development of theology in the twentieth century and will be of keen interest to scholars and students of the history of theology.
