In a world of war, terrorism, and other geopolitical threats to
global stability, how should committed Christians honor Jesus
Christ and his Word? How should Christians think and act when it
comes to church-state relations, the preservation of order, the
practice of just peacemaking, and the use of coercive force? In
this volume in IVP Academic's Spectrum series, four
contributors-experts in Christian ethics, political philosophy, and
international affairs-offer the best of current Christian thinking
on issues of war and peace. They present four distinct views: Eric
Patterson, just war view Myles Werntz, nonviolence view A. J.
Nolte, Christian realist view Meic Pearse, church historical view
Each contributor makes a case for his own view and responds to the
others, highlighting complexities and real-world implications of
the various perspectives. Edited and with an introduction and
conclusion by the philosopher Paul Copan, this book provides a
helpful orientation to the key positions today. Spectrum Multiview
Books offer a range of viewpoints on contested topics within
Christianity, giving contributors the opportunity to present their
position and also respond to others in this dynamic publishing
format.
