"The Holy War" written by Hugh Hodge is full of many references to war and includes hints as to the author's feelings about the situation. For example, the last line is very telling as to Hodge's opinion. "Here is the God who wept" implies that the creator of the world is weeping at its current state. This God is looking down at the world that is going to war over faith, which God never intended them to do. Hope this helps.
