Gandhi, Scripture and Non-violence

William Emilsen

Gandhi, Scripture and Non-violence

Research output: Book chapter/Published conference paper › Chapter

Abstract

Emilsen records how texts of violence are confronted by Gandhi with absolute fearlessness. Scripture, tradition and religious authority are respected by Gandhi but never allowed to countenance violence. Gandhi tests the world scriptures on 'the anvil of truth with the hammer of compassion''his twin principles of reason and non-violence. Faced with the absolute futility of violence, Emilsen argues that Gandhi's 'gospel of non-violence' is critical for a world bent on self-destruction.
