Abstract

This chapter surveys the most important sources of pacifism—the liberal, evangelical, Social Gospel, and modernist movements—and looks at their most significant critique, neo-orthodoxy. The first section focuses on the period before the paradigm shift, sketching the theological contexts of mainline Protestant pacifism. The second and third sections consider the way these various strands of thought found expression in two important cultural contexts: the works of popular writer and speaker Kirby Page; and the hymnody of peace.
