[Glossary] A Reason for War

1. (Clark 1988, 11-12): "This rejection of the very basis of Christianity pervades all their teaching. Suppose they are teaching history: In this case they may give certain economic causes of a war, but they would never think of considering a war as a punishment sent by God on account of national sin. The effect of this naturalistic view on the explanation of the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. is obvious and disastrous."

A war may be a punishment sent by God on account of national sin.
