Public ISBD Titre : Just war as Christian discipleship : recentering the tradition in the church rather than the state Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Daniel M.

Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Just war doctrine War--Religious aspects--Christianity Index. décimale : BT 736.2 Résumé : This provocative primer on the just war tradition connects just war to the concrete practices and challenges of the Christian life. Daniel Bell explains that the point is not simply to know just war tradition but to live it even in face of tremendous stresses and difficulties associated with war. Just War as Christian Discipleship recovers contexts and specifics of the just war tradition that have been forgotten. Instead of seeing the tradition as a checklist to complete that justifies a proposed or ongoing war, Bell looks back to aspects of the tradition that were about forming, supporting, and holding accountable Christians as just warriors. He shows how just war practice, if it is to be understood as a faithful form of Christian discipleship, must be rooted in and shaped by the fundamental convictions and confessions of the faith. The book includes a foreword by an Army chaplain who has served two tours in Iraq and study questions for group use--Publisher's description.
