Book Description:
|
This book is a contribution to the Christian ethics of war and peace. It offers critical interpretations of landmark positions from the Bible and early church through the twentieth century, and advances peacebuilding as a needed challenge to and expansion of the traditional framework of just-war theory and pacifism. The focus of Christian theology, ethics, and practice should not be on justifying war but on practical and hopeful interreligious peacebuilding.
