The Two Swords and the Eternal Soul
The essay, authored by retired mathematics professor John Emil Thomas Bernard, argues that Christianity’s belief in an immortal soul obliges believers to active, heroic virtue rather than passive piety. Historically, Christians embraced a dual‑sword model—spiritual warfare through prayer and sacraments, and a secular sword for defending the innocent, as exemplified by the Templars and just‑war doctrine. Modern “doormat Christianity” has tilted heavily toward the spiritual sword, neglecting the secular, which the author says undermines moral courage. He calls for a balanced revival of both swords to fulfill the church’s mission in today’s violent world.
