The Horrors We Bless - Rethinking the Just-war Legacy

Klappentext * Includes thoughtful quotes about war from many historical and contemporary sources Zusammenfassung Is war inevitable? Is it so woven into the fabric of our being that it always was and always will be? This title says that "Early Christians" were unanimous in opposing this view. It argues that later Christians succumbed to the supposed "normalcy" of war and developed what later became known as the "just-war theory".
