Dissent or Conform examines how churches reacted to, and were
affected by, the two world wars. Its underlying theme, however, is
how the Church can be a creatively dissenting community, focusing
on how easily the church can turn into a conforming community that
only encourages the occurrence of uncreative dissenters, the ones
who criticize the power without offering solutions and leading to a
real change. Wilkinson opposes this trait of the church, especially
given the impact that it has on society as a messenger of the
gospel. To this end, the author depicts religious groups during
three periods of time: English Nonconformity among the free
churches before WWI, pacifists and pacifiers between the two wars
and Christianity during WWII, focusing on how church history
interacts with the developments in history and society. This book
is of particular interest to social and church historians of the
20th century, and to all interested in the history and ethics of
war and pacifism. It will also appeal to those attracted by the
interaction between church and society.
