Territorial Disputes

The modern world is riven with tensions and conflicts regarding contradicting claims over territories, fueled by ideology, nationalism and patriotic narratives. Wars and conflicts have spiritual dimensions to them that can sometimes be hidden. This book looks at the current political crises and tensions burning through the world from a spiritual perspective. It includes an imaginative interpretation of the signs of the times, and covers topics including war, nationalism, abortion, sin, revelation, Marian apparitions, Confucian philosophy, private property, natural law and the role of states in human civilization. It also explores how to use natural law to show how ownership of territories can be justly relegated to different states, using an analysis of a number of modern and historical cases.
