Between Pacifism and Jihad: Just War and the Christian

J Daryl Charles

Paperback 2005-06-25

Publisher Description

Pacifism. Jihad. Militarism.

Are these our only alternatives for dealing with global injustice today?

J. Daryl Charles leads us to reconsider a Christian view of the use of force to maintain or reestablish justice. He shows how love for a neighbor can warrant the just use of force. Reviewing and updating the widely recognized but not necessarily well-understood just-war teaching of the church through the ages, Charles shows how it captures many of the concerns of the pacifist position while deliberately avoiding, on the other side, the excesses of jihad and militarism. Aware of our contemporary global situation, Charles addresses the unique challenges of dealing with international terrorism.
