Bishop Nikolaj Velimirović, known as « Serbia’s New Chrysostom, » was a witness to the profound suffering of the early 20th century. Writing from the perspective of a man who saw the black steel birds over New York and the ocean of human pain in the First World War, he offers a unique synthesis of Eastern spiritual tradition and Western historical experience.
In his book Bishop Nikolaj Velimirović explores the nature of human conflict through a strictly theological and biblical lens. Set against the backdrop of a 1927 boat trip in New York, the narrative features a dialogue between international figures who contrast modern political theories with divine law. The author argues that war is never accidental but is a direct consequence of spiritual apostasy, where man’s rebellion against God inevitably leads to violence among brothers. By examining diverse historical examples from the Old Testament to the World Wars, the text posits that military success depends not on superior weaponry or troop numbers, but on the moral purity and repentance of a nation. Ultimately, the work serves as a warning that modern civilization faces destruction unless it abandons its pride and returns to the ethical foundations of the Holy Scriptures.
The book also includes the life of St. Sava, who served as a miraculous peacemaker through faith, and the bishop’s own experiences in the first World War, which strengthened his conviction that war serves as a painful “rod of correction” intended to humble the proud.
