This comprehensive introduction delves into Christian perspectives on security and peace, drawing from a just war framework. Authored by Eric Patterson, the book explores the moral dimensions of order, justice, and peace in the context of key Christian doctrines, including love for neighbors, stewardship, vocation, and sphere sovereignty. It also examines perennial questions such as civil disobedience, terrorism, revolution, and holy war, engaging with theological thinkers throughout Christian history. The volume concludes with a discussion of punishment and restitution, exploring how these can contribute to societal conciliation. While designed as a textbook for courses on Christian ethics, theology, politics, church and society, this book also appeals to pastors and lay readers seeking to understand the morality of war and Christians' involvement in force. Christians serving in government, law enforcement, and the military will find valuable insights for theological reflection on their vocations.
