Book publication “Adventists and Military Service”

The authors give an overview of the Adventist and general Christian position on military service in history as well as considerations from a pastoral point of view and reflections on the topic of military service in the Bible. It turns out that Adventists have been war-critical right from the very beginning and, despite differentiating positions within their ranks, the originally non-violent attitude (mostly referred to as "noncombat standpoint") can be combined with the Biblical-Christian ethos most likely. An extensive bibliography on Adventists and war/violence/military as well as an overview of several dozen Adventist announcements complement the book. Among the authors are several employees of Friedensau Adventist University (FAU): Stefan Höschele, Kerstin Maiwald, Andreas Bochmann, Daniel Heinz.
