The question of justifiable war

St Vladimir’s Theological Quarterly

Volume 47 • Number 1, 2003 • ISSN 0036-3227 • 126 pp

What do Orthodox Christian theologians, historians, ethicists, chaplains, and peace workers have to say about war? This special issue of St Vladimir’s Theological Quarterly presents the contemporary debate on this critical and pertinent issue, including arguments drawn from history, patristics, tradition and experience. The debate seeks to define the conditions that constitute a “just war” or whether war is justifiable under any circumstances.
