In this volume, Mark Douglas presents an environmental history of
the Christian just war tradition. Focusing on the transition from
its late medieval into its early modern form, he explores the role
the tradition has played in conditioning modernity and generating
modernity's blindness to interactions between 'the natural' and
'the political.' Douglas criticizes problematic myths that have
driven conventional narratives about the history of the tradition
and suggests a revised approach that better accounts for the
evolution of that tradition through time. Along the way, he
provides new interpretations of works by Francisco de Vitoria and
Hugo Grotius, and, provocatively, the Constitution of the United
States of America. Sitting at the intersection of just war
thinking, environmental history, and theological ethics, Douglas's
book serves as a timely guide for responses to wars in a warming
world as they increasingly revolve around the flashpoints of
religion, resources, and refugees.
