Das Buch stellt sich den essenziellen Fragen von Krieg und Frieden aus ethischer und religiöser Perspektive. Ziel ist es, die gegenwartig stark umstrittene Lehre vom gerechten Krieg in den globalen Kontext einzubinden und aktuelle Weiterentwicklungen innerhalb - sowie ausserhalb - dieser stark vom Christentum gepragten Lehre zu analysieren. Erörtert werden aktuelle theoretische Ansatze des gerechten Krieges, Gegenkonzepte wie das von den beiden grossen Kirchen in Deutschland unterstützte und mitformulierte Konzept des Gerechten Friedens sowie Konzepte über Krieg und Frieden in anderen Weltreligionen. Gerade mit den weltpolitischen Veranderungen nach 1989/90 ist eine systematische Reflexion der Kriterien, unter denen militarische Interventionen erlaubt sein könnten, wieder dringend geworden, und dies nicht nur im abendlandisch christlichen, sondern vor allem auch im globalen, multikulturellen und multireligiösen Kontext.
