War and Delusion offers a fresh look at just war theory, which
has dominated normative thought about war for centuries. This work
examines the cultural milieu in which the just war paradigm arose
and asks whether 'just war' rationalizations today constitute sound
justifications or function rather as pro-military propaganda. By
delving beneath the surface of the official stories written by
victors to examine war's real effects--moral, psychological, and
physical--upon both the perpetrators and the victims, War and
Delusion reveals how the practice of modern war contradicts the
most basic values and principles of modern Western democracies.
Calhoun examines the centuries-old paradigm of just war theory to

sound justifications or pro-military propaganda. Her work reveals
how the practice of modern war contradicts the most basic values
and principles of modern Western democracies.

Description: In this long-awaited edition of the late Robert Lowry
Calhoun's lectures on the history of Christian doctrine, a powerful
case is made for the scriptural basis of the ancient ecumenical
creeds. The way Calhoun reads the patristic authors helps us see
that the Trinitarian ""three-yet-one"" and Christological
""two-yet-one"" creedal formulations provide patterns for sorting
out the highly diverse biblical ways of speaking of God and of the
Messiah (Jesus) so that they are not contradictory. The implied
lesson (all the more effective for many of Calhoun's students, just
because he let them draw this conclusion by themselves) is that the
creeds are not to be understood as deductions from scripture (which
they are not in any straightforward way) but as templates for
interpreting scripture. It is Trinitarian and Christological
patterns of reading--which are implicitly operative for vast
multitudes even in churches that profess to be creedless--that make
it possible to treat the entire bible, Old and New Testaments
together, as a unified and coherently authoritative whole.
Endorsements: ""Calhoun's Lectures on the History of Christian
Doctrinehave a mythic status, so thank God we finally have them in
reality. No one had a command of theology across the centuries more
determinatively than Robert Calhoun. Those reading these lectures
cannot but receive the tradition from one of its most generous
minds. We are in George Lindbeck's debt for the labor of love in
editing these lectures."" --Stanley Hauerwas, Duke University About
