Description
Should Christians ever go to war? If so, under what circumstances? If not, why? These questions have been disputed for centuries. This book presents four modern expressions of four classical views: biblical nonresistance, Christian pacifism, just war, and preventive war. Each essay and discussion will help readers formulate their own views about war.Tags

Covers the four traditional Christian views of War and Peace: Christian Pacifism, Biblical Nonresistance, Just War Theory, and Crusade. Four writers give their perspective and then engage with one another on the topic. With the current War on Terror I think this is a important book to read to see where a individual Christian stands and to see if their view lines up with current US policy. Some of the engaging between views becomes a intellectual fight of words, but still a valuable read.
