A fascinating blend of history, theology, and political philosophy, The Just War Tradition traces the development of the tradition from its inception nearly two millennia ago. Corey and Charles illuminate how the various voices within the tradition - from Augustine and Aquinas, to Luther and Calvin, to Suárez and Locke, up to present-day commentators - relate to one another and to rival ways of understanding war and peace.
