The Christian's Perspective on When and How to Fight

Across the centuries, how have Christians who follow the Prince of Peace responded

to the recurring reality of war? And what guidance do they offer for believers today-in the midst of global conflict?

In When God Says War Is Right, Dr. Darrell Cole

offers thorough and highly readable answers. His expert examination focuses on these

topics-

. Relating the character of God with the use of force .

Relating the character of God with the use of force .

Determining when

and how Christians ought to fight .

Understanding why Christian virtues are vital

when using force .

Using nuclear weapons for deterrence .

Learning lessons from World

War II, Vietnam, and the 1991 Gulf War .

Responding to today's war against terrorism

Dr. Cole focuses on Romans 13, where Paul commands us to ""do what is right"" (or

""good"" or ""noble"") in regard to our governing authorities, who have legitimate war-making

authority. In the case of war, what is ""right"" for the Christian? This book answers

that essential question. In today's war-stricken world, Dr. Cole provides timely,

trustworthy, and vitally needed guidance for Christians.
