Description

What is the place-if any-for violence in the Christian life? Christian Martyrdom and Christian Violence: On Suffering and Wielding the Sword explores the tension between Christianitys historic reverence for martyrdom (suffering violence for faith) and Christianitys historical support of a just war ethic (involving the inflicting of violence). While the book considers the possibility that the two are unreconcilable, it also argues that they are ultimately compatible; but their compatibility requires a more humanized portrait of the Christian martyr as well as a stricter approach to the justified use of violence.
