Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Peace, War and the Christian Conscience
St. Ambrose (397) had made some adaptations of these principles to Christian thought, but St. Augus tine (430) elaborated them in fuller detail.
Augustine held that Christian perfection was not possible in this world and, consequently, that peace was not possible during man's earthly pilgrimage. He also believed that one could be a Christian and kill his enemies because the destruction of the enemy's body might actually benefit his soul. In fact, hetaught that only a man who loved his enemy might kill him.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of Christianity's intricate and evolving relationship with the concepts of war and peace throughout history. It begins by exploring the pacifist teachings of the early Christian era, which emphasized non-violent love and compassion. However, as the Church grew and became more intertwined with political structures, it began to grapple with the complexities of governing and defending its interests, leading to the development of theories such as "just war." The author traces the evolution of Christian thought on war through the centuries, examining the arguments and justifications put forth by theologians, philosophers, and political leaders. It discusses the impact of historical events, such as the Crusades and the World Wars, on shaping Christian attitudes towards warfare. The book also considers the rise of peace movements within Christianity and the growing influence of non-violent resistance in the modern era. Ultimately, the book argues that Christianity has played a complex and often contradictory role in the history of war and peace. While it has inspired movements for peace and social justice, it has also been used to justify violence and aggression. The author concludes by emphasizing the ongoing relevance of Christian teachings on peacemaking and the need for continued dialogue and reflection on how to apply them in the present day.
