Ever wondered what Just War Theory is all about?

Well, we've got you covered!

In a nutshell, Just War Theory is a set of ethical principles used to assess the morality of using military force.

But here's the kicker—we need to explore it from a critical perspective, especially for those of us who strive to follow Christ's teachings of peace.

Just War Theory acknowledges that war and violence are generally seen as negative, but it proposes that there may be certain situations where the use of force is deemed necessary and justifiable.

Key principles of just war theory include the idea that the use of force should be a last resort, that it should be used to achieve a just end, and that it should be conducted in a way that is proportional to the harm being addressed.

However, as peacemakers in Christ, we must question and examine this theory through a different lens that values Christ’s commands above the tradition of men.
