| Introduction | vii | |
| War Inconsistent with the Religion of Jesus Christ | 1 | |
| War is Inhuman: | ||
| I. | Because it hardens the heart and blunts the tender feelings of mankind | 2 |
| II. | War is inhuman, as in its nature and tendency it abuses God’s animal creation | 6 |
| III. | War is inhuman, as it oppresses the poor | 8 |
| IV. | War is inhuman, as it spreads terror and distress among mankind | 12 |
| V. | War is inhuman, as it involves men in fatigue, famine, and all the pains of mutilated bodies | 14 |
| VI. | War is inhuman, as it destroys the youth and cuts off the hope of gray hairs | 16 |
| VII. | War is inhuman, as it multiplies widows and orphans, and clothes the land in mourning | 18 |
| War is Unwise: | ||
| I. | Because, instead of preventing, it provokes insult and mischief | 23 |
| II. | War is unwise, for instead of diminishing, it increases difficulties | 26 |
| III. | War is unwise, because it destroys property | 28 |
| IV. | War is unwise, as it is dangerous to the liberties of men | 30 |
| V. | War is unwise, as it diminishes the happiness of mankind | 34 |
| VI. | War is unwise, as it does not mend, but injures, the morals of society | 36 |
| VII. | War is unwise, as it is hazarding eternal things for only the chance of defending temporal things | 42 |
| VIII. | War is unwise, as it does not answer the professed end for which it is intended | 44 |
| War is Criminal: | ||
| I. | Going to war is not keeping from the appearance of evil, but is running into temptation | 47 |
| II. | War is criminal, as it naturally inflames the pride of man | 49 |
| III. | War necessarily infringes on the consciences of men, and therefore is criminal | 52 |
| IV. | War is criminal, as it is opposed to patient suffering under unjust and cruel treatment | 56 |
| V. | War is criminal, as it is not doing to others as we should wish them to do to us | 60 |
| VI. | War is inconsistent with mercy, and is therefore criminal | 61 |
