Plot

Dennis Byler looks at the way Christians have viewed war and peace since the time of Constantine. He shows how some Christians have justified participating in revolutions, wars of national defense, wars of conquest and genocide, wars of religious intolerance, and wars caused by mistakes and misunderstandings. Byler also shows why other Christians have refused to kill human beings in any of these types of conflict.An excellent book for people on either side of the question to help them understand the opposing point of view. Volume 8.
