Religion, War, and Ethics is a collection of primary sources from
the world's major religions on the ethics of war. Each chapter
brings together annotated texts - scriptural, theological, ethical,
and legal - from a variety of historical periods that reflect each
tradition's response to perennial questions about the nature of
war: when, if ever, is recourse to arms morally justifiable? What
moral constraints should apply to military conduct? Can a lasting
earthly peace be achieved? Are there sacred reasons for waging war,
and special rewards for those who do the fighting? The religions
covered include Sunni and Shiite Islam; Judaism; Roman Catholic,
Eastern Orthodox, and Protestant Christianity; Theravada Buddhism;
East Asian religious traditions (Confucianism, Shinto, Japanese and
Korean Buddhism); Hinduism; and Sikhism. Each section is compiled
by a specialist, recognized within his or her respective religious
tradition, who has also written a commentary on the historical and
textual context of the passages selected.
