In a world of war, terrorism, and other geopolitical threats to global stability, how should committed Christians honor Jesus Christ and his Word? How should Christians think and act when it comes to church-state relations, the preservation of order, the practice of just peacemaking, and the use of coercive force? In this volume in IVP Academic's Spectrum series, four contributors-experts in Christian ethics, political philosophy, and international affairs-offer the best of current Christian thinking on issues of war and peace. They present four distinct views:

Eric Patterson, just war view
Myles Werntz, nonviolence view
A. J. Nolte, Christian realist view
Meic Pearse, church historical view

Each contributor makes a case for his own view and responds to the others, highlighting complexities and real-world implications of the various perspectives. Edited and with an introduction and conclusion by the philosopher Paul Copan, this book provides a helpful orientation to the key positions today. Spectrum Multiview Books offer a range of viewpoints on contested topics within Christianity, giving contributors the opportunity to present their position and also respond to others in this dynamic publishing format.

Industry Reviews

"In this important new update to the debate on power and the Christian life, a generous but sharp-minded dialogue between top scholars will help the confused and the curious understand what's at stake in the means and the aims of just and unjust peace. For both the initiate and the expert, here is a model in tone and a rigor in content that will leave you wishing for more."
