War is possible in a world still learning to be Christian, and this book tests what that means for peace and war.
In this collection, B. H. Streeter argues that war is not the real evil, but the mindset that leads to it. He asks how a Christian should respond to violent conflict and what role force might play in justice, defense, and liberty. The discussion links religious teachings, national ethics, and real-world politics to explore how to reduce war while protecting the vulnerable.
- How the Sermon on the Mount can inform views on revenge, mercy, and defense
- When force may be necessary, and how to balance duty with compassion
- What a Christian society can do to move toward peace without waiting for perfect conditions
- Why international justice and cooperation matter, even without a perfect world tribunal
Ideal for readers of religious ethics, wartime history, and philosophy who seek thoughtful, practical questions about war, peace, and moral responsibility.
