Abstract: "The weaponization of drone technology presents numerous questions. From an ethical standpoint, how can Christians make sense of this deadly class of weapon? How do drones challenge our understanding of what constitutes a 'just war'? And does deploying them even qualify as warfare? This thought-provoking study examines the ethical landscape surrounding drone usage, and delves into the scriptural record to explore Christian perspectives of power and treatment of our neighbours"--Page 4 of cover.
