A Teach-in on Just War Theology For hundreds of years, the Christian church has wrestled with the topics of war and justice. This seminar will explore issues of pacifism and war from a Christian perspective. This will not be a debate---all of the speakers share the perspective that war is sometimes justified---but the ethics and justice of war will be given a critical look in light of the teaching of the Bible.
