A Change of Allegiance

Dean Taylor and his wife Tania were both in the U.S. Army when they realized that, as committed Christians, they had to come to grip with these questions in a new and sincere quest for truth. They were determined to follow Jesus Christ under the banner of no com-promise. As they began to search the Scriptures and church history, they came to the startling discovery that the Christian Church originally was uniformly opposed to Christians going to war or joining the military. In A Change of Allegiance, Taylor takes the reader on a moving journey through the Scriptures, Christian history, and his own life’s story—demonstrating the incompatibility of Christianity and war. Ultimately, Taylor challenges his readers to consider where their allegiance really lies. What should a Christian do with Jesus words, Love your enemies? Is it all right for a Christian to go to war?
