by T. S. K. Scott-Craig (Author), W. P. Paterson (Foreword by)

""Christian Attitudes to War and Peace: A Study of the Four Main Types"" is a comprehensive exploration of the different ways in which Christians approach the issue of warfare and peace. Written by T.S.K. Scott-Craig, the book examines the four major types of Christian attitudes towards war: pacifism, just war theory, holy war, and crusade. The author delves into the historical and theological foundations of each perspective, tracing their development over time and analyzing their key features and principles. He also explores the ways in which these attitudes have been applied in practice, both in the past and in contemporary conflicts.Throughout the book, Scott-Craig engages with a range of Christian thinkers and traditions, from the early church fathers to modern theologians and activists. He also draws on insights from philosophy, politics, and international relations to provide a nuanced and multifaceted understanding of the complex issues surrounding war and peace.Overall, ""Christian Attitudes to War and Peace"" is a thought-provoking and informative work that offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of religion, ethics, and conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
