The Ethics of War: Just War, Peace & the Christian Conscience
Moral reasoning about war, taught at full strength from both traditions.
Two serious Christian traditions — just war and Christian pacifism — taught at full strength, neither adjudicated by the course. Students are graded on the rigor and fairness of their reasoning, never on the position they hold.
