Christian Attitudes toward War- Beujolais, 1956

Def worth the read- examines Xtian thought on warfare from the pacifist days of the original cult thru the fall of Rome, Inquisitions, Crusades, up through Second World War.

Interesting to see how the original pacifism was supplanted by the theory of Just War, and how that concept has been watered down in the present day.

Yeah, I know that 1956 isn't the present day, but compared to say, 812 it's pretty damned close.

Also interesting to look at the Bush Doctrine as opposed the the Just War doctrine...
