Excerpt: ...nature; was also; in that charmed hour of the minor "Peace of the church;" realised as an influence tending to beauty; to the adornment of life and the world. The sword in the world; the right eye plucked out; the right hand cut off; the spirit of reproach which those images express; and of which monasticism is the fulfilment; reflect one side only of the nature of the divine missionary of the New Testament. Opposed to; yet blent with; this ascetic or militant character; is the function of the Good Shepherd; serene; blithe and debonair; beyond the gentlest shepherd of Greek mythology; of a king under whom the beatific vision is realised of a reign of peace

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Necessary reading for war-fighters and veteransBy T. C.Well worth the read. This book provides amazing insight into various warrior cultures throughout history ; as well as the commonalities they all share. Especially remarkable is the last chapter which discusses current military ethics and it's effects on the well being of those we ask to fight our current wars. As a veteran; I highly recommend this book.
