Description
Conscience and Conflict: Methodism, Peace and War in the Twentieth Century by Michael Huges This book explores how British Methodism responded to major international conflicts of the 20th century. The legacy of the 'Nonconformist Conscience' shaped attitudes towards war and peace within the Methodist Church during the early 20th century. The book then examines British Methodist responses to conflicts and tensions in the decades following 1945, including debates about the Cold War and the impact of nuclear weapons. The Methodist Church of Great Britain grappled with the ideological divisions of the Cold War, while also acknowledging the growing recognition of global inequality as a source of disorder and injustice. This nuanced exploration will be of interest to both students of International History and those studying the changing role of churches in Britain during the 20th century. By examining the complex and often contradictory responses of British Methodism to major international conflicts, this book provides a unique perspective on the intersection of faith, politics, and international relations in the 20th century.
