How to understand a global crisis through a deeper lens This book argues that modern war is not just a political struggle but a theological moment. It invites readers to see how ideas, not just armies, shape the fate of nations and the lives of ordinary people. Fulton J. Sheen contrasts political and economic battles with the enduring questions about meaning, ends, and moral responsibility. It contends that the crisis of our time stems from a shift away from the idea of a divine order, and it calls for a reorientation toward faith, virtue, and the common good. The text defines a clear distinction between war and revolution, showing how battles on land and sea are only episodes in a larger struggle of ideas. It argues for a Christian framework that places the human person above profits or power and urges a cooperative approach to economics and politics grounded in the dignity of every person.
