The Just War: Force and Political Responsibility

1 review
Stanley Hauerwas, Paul Ramsey

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2002

A Good Work to Have
This book by Paul Ramsey is intelligent and insightful in its discussion of the just war doctrine. While many would say the best work on the doctrine in the last 40 years is Walzer's "Just and Unjust Wars," I consider this far superior. Ramsey, a Methodist theologian, considers the doctrine in terms of his religion. This is quite helpful, as the doctrine (at its inception and for most of its ...

Suffering: A Test of Theological Method

Arthur C. McGill

Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2007

Divine Power Made Perfect in Weakness!
As someone working on a theology of the cross where the "power of God is perfected in weakness," I look for others writing on the same topic. This small, extremely readable book put so much together in such a small package that it is hard to rate the book highly enough. There really is nothing absolutely new here, but McGill has prayed through things to the center, and as a result, his writing ...

Super Reader
It is never a good sign when an editor talks about 'this anthology is x, but I've given you some y,z,a and b in here' i.e. completely not the reason you bought the anthology in the first place, usually, for those with a theme such as heroic fantasy in this case. Doesn't mean they won't be good stories, but this editor cannotresistititis seems to strike almost all of theme, at times. Close to ...

Ethics at the Edges of Life: Medical and Legal Intersections (Bampton Lectures in America)
Paul Ramsey

Yale University Press, 1980

In this book, Ramsey addresses the moral problems of medicine, life and death and not merely to those who share his faith.
