A Collection on Just War
In a previous post, I’ve mentioned Tom’s on going series on Just War Theory. Joe Carter, of the Evangelical Outpost, points to two other discussions of Just War Theory. One, by Mark Olson, is a worthy, if mis-numbered, review of the Theory with a conclusion that reviews many wars and their applicability as either Just or Unjust. The second, by Jon Trainer, offers a brief statement of the principles of Just War Theory, and a look out how Biblical passages can be viewed to support Just War.
All are interesting takes on the subject, and recommended.
