The article concentrates on a collection of sermons delivered by the Prussian preacher Ludwig Borowski during Prussia’s wars against Napoleon (1806–1816). The author makes an attempt to retrace the evolution of the concept of war devised by Borowski in his sermons. After Prussia’s defeat in the war of 1806 Ludwig Borowski interpreted the war as God’s punishment on the Prussian people. God is represented in Borowski’s sermons as a wise father who wants to get his children to behave. The further evolution of the concept can be seen in 1813 when Prussia reopened hostilities against France. In the sermons of 1813–1816 the war will be conceptualized by Borowski as a means of salvation, a holy crusade for liberty and independence. Borowski never preaches national hatred. The aim of the war is peace that is considered to be a gift from heaven to humanity.

“废墟和死亡突然来到我们的家”

本文重点介绍普鲁士对拿破仑发动的战争（1806–1816年）期间，普鲁士传教士路德维希·博罗夫斯基发表的一系列讲道。作者试图追溯博罗夫斯基在布道中提出的战争概念的演变。普鲁士在1806年的战争中失败后，路德维希·鲍罗夫斯基将战争解释为上帝对普鲁士人民的惩罚。在鲍罗夫斯基的布道中，上帝是一位明智的父亲，他想让自己的孩子表现出来。1813年，普鲁士重新爆发了对法国的敌对行动，这一概念有了进一步的发展。在1813年至1816年的布道中，博罗夫斯基将战争概念化为拯救的手段，这是对自由和独立的神圣十字军。博罗夫斯基从不宣扬民族仇恨。战争的目的是和平，和平被认为是天堂给人类的礼物。
