War and Christians: An Instructive Treatise on Whether War Is Ever Ethically Justified

By S. H. Shepherd

War and Christians No one can predict when or where the next war will occur, or if it will involve this country or any other country, but if history has taught us anything it is that peace does not last for long, and rarely lasts for a generation. Although the United States and her allies remain vigilant against foreign terrorist groups, and hot spots flare up occasionally in the world, the war against terrorism is no longer front page news. Nevertheless, it is the common belief among historians, political scientists, policy experts, journalists and military scholars that the next major war is just around the corner. The book explains man's propensity for belligerence and his never ending fascination with war. It weighs the pros and cons of the main views, or theories, on war. It does not endorse or promote any view necessarily, but allows readers to deduce for themselves how they would personally respond to war were it to threaten their homeland. The emphasis is on what Christians should do about war and why many support it, but non-Christians will gain insights from the exposition of this fascinating subject that puzzles many people. For some, it will be a revisitation of the Holy Scriptures and what say about war, and also an informative commentary on their implications for us all. For others, it will be a fresh look at the main views on war and where we stand today in this country in terms of war strategy and preparedness.
