Reviews

This monograph is a helpful exercise in ressourcement. Prof Heath first identifies a five-fold pattern of thought from the Ancient Church with regard to the state at war. With this tradition established as a foundation for judicious reflection, Prof Heath then skillfully probes the way it can help us moderns think about the subject of war, which sadly, to paraphrase Christ, is always with us in this world. An extremely valuable contribution to a much-written-about subject! -- Michael A.G. Haykin, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
