The Seventh Sunday After Pentecost

The Seventh Sunday After Pentecost

O Lord, we beseech thee mercifully to receive the prayers of thy people who call upon thee, and grant that they may both perceive and know what things they ought to do, and also may have grace and power faithfully to fulfill the same; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Proper 10)

What is the relationship between being a Christian and being a soldier? This class, led by Professor James Cornwell of the United States Military Academy at West Point, explores this question in two parts. First, what does Scripture say about the apparent tension between taking up arms to serve one’s country while also serving the Prince of Peace? Second, what does Scripture show us that we can learn about being a good Christian from what it means to be a good soldier?
