In Defence of War
"Biggar's careful moral reasoning offers a model that, if followed, would deepen and mature the Christian discussion of the ethics of war and peace. And, if I may say, his book ought especially to be read by those who, at first blush, will be shocked or even appalled by its title... Many churchmen affirm what they understand to be the moral criteria of the just war tradition, but as a practical matter they cannot imagine a just use of armed force - which tends to subtract religious thinkers and their insights from the debates where policy is actually devised. If Nigel Biggar's book gets churchmen thinking seriously about war and peace again, that might change." --First Things: Religion and Public Life"
