1st edition. Period boards. 8vo. 92 pages, 22 cm. In Hebrew. Title translates to "War for Peace: A Debate Between Two Jewish and Christian Lovers on the Matter of Religion. " A turn of the Century defense against Christian missionaries. In a contemporary review entitled "Neo-Hebraic Literature in America" (New York, 1900) , Bernard Drachman noted that Milhamah Be-Shalom "is a defense of Judaism against the attacks of Christian missionaries, particularly against the culumnies of McCall in his notorious Netibot Olam, and a sharp criticism on the New Testament. The work is in the form of a debate between Peter, a Christian priest, who represents Christianity, and Abraham, a Jewish Rabbi and preacher, who defends the cause of Judaism. Its usefulness as furnishing Hebrew reading Jews with arguments by which to refute the persistent proselytizing efforts of Christian missionaries is very great. It is written in a pure, clear and simple style which renders its perusal easy for any one [sic] acquainted with Hebrew. " Singerman 5131.
