Perhaps because Tucker is an Episcopalian (which he describes as "the Samaritans of our time"), he missed an important point. He described the war today as that between good and evil. And characteristics of "good," he says, are order, calmness, lack of conflict, and cleanliness.
He describes characteristics of evil as violence, hate, disorder, division, disorganization & filth.
The true dichotomy is between life and death. In the garden of Eden there was the Tree of Life, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good AND Evil. To partake of that tree causes death, so in reality, it is the Tree of Death. Joshua said, "I have set before you life and death (Dt. 30:19)..." That which promotes and results in life is "good." That which promotes and results in death is "evil."
And if division is a characteristic of evil, what does that signify that Christians are divided from each other? After all, Jesus prayed that we would be one that the world would believe (Jn. 17:21).
