Highlighting the just war tradition in historical perspective, this
valuable study looks at contemporary implications drawn out in the
context of several important contemporary debates: within the field
of religion, including both Christian and Islamic thought; within
the field of debate related to the international law of armed
conflicts; within the field of policy relating to the use of armed
force where the issue is just war thinking vs. realism; and debates
over pressing contemporary issues in the ethics of war which cross
disciplinary lines. James Turner Johnson has been writing on just
war tradition since 1975, developing the historical understanding
of just war and seeking to draw out its implications for
contemporary armed conflict. He is frequently asked to lecture on
topics drawn from his work. This current book brings together a
number of essays which reflect his recent thinking on understanding
how and why just war tradition coalesced in the first place, how
and why it has developed as it has, and relating contemporary just
war reasoning to the historical tradition of just war.
