Over two thousand years, Christianity has carried within it a quiet but dangerous conflict, one that continues to shape the world. In “Bread Versus the Sword: The Inherent Schism Within Christianity and How It Threatens Our World”, Anthony Gifford explores this enduring divide between two visions of God: the nurturing Abba that Jesus revealed and the ruling deity of power and control that history later embraced.

Through precise analysis and grounded historical insight, Anthony traces how this shift, from the God of Bread to the God of the Sword, took root when Emperor Constantine fused faith with empire. What began as a movement of love and service gradually became a system of authority and dominance.

This book is not simply about theology but about how belief shapes behavior, policy, and human freedom. Bread Versus the Sword calls readers to examine the faith traditions that still guide nations and individuals alike, and to rediscover the compassionate spirit that first inspired them.
