Christian Pacifism

Arguing that war is philosophically irreconcilable with Christianity, this title contradicts just war theorists, whose position can be traced to Church figures notably Tomas Acquinas. While the roots of pacifism lie in the teachings of Jesus, it relies as much on philosophical argument as on theological exegesis or speculation.
