This brief introduction surveys Christian thinking on an array of
topics related to security and peace from a just war perspective.
Drawing primarily on Scripture and theology, Eric Patterson
explores the moral dimensions of order, justice, and peace in light
of key Christian doctrines such as love of neighbor, stewardship,
vocation, and sphere sovereignty. He also examines the perennial
questions of civil disobedience, terrorism, revolution, and holy
war (including a discussion of Israel's removal of the Canaanites
and the Crusades) and interacts with theological thinkers
throughout Christian history. The volume concludes with a treatment
of punishment and restitution, considering how these can help move
a society toward conciliation. While ideal as a textbook for
courses on Christian ethics, theology and politics, and church and
society, this book will also appeal to pastors and lay readers
questioning the morality of war and Christians' involvement in
force. Christians who serve in government, law enforcement, and the
military will also find helpful guidance for thinking theologically
about their vocations.
