Abstract

The author critiques the book "In Defence of War," by Nigel Biggar, criticizing the role of Christian love in Biggar's account of the just war tradition. Topics include the views of Augustine of Hippo regarding war, whether war should be viewed as punishment or as a means of securing the common good, and the ethical notion of double effect.
