The Third Sunday After Pentecost
O God, who hast taught us to keep all thy commandments by loving thee and our neighbor: Grant us the grace of thy Holy Spirit, that we may be devoted to thee with our whole heart, and united to one another with pure affection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Proper 9)

Today, Fr Austin begins a six-week revisiting of “just war,” starting with the basic orientation of Christian thought here. It is not about determining which wars are just; and it is certainly not a theory. Rather, it is a Christian tradition of practical reasoning about war that sees it as an extension of ordinary judgment, and subject to the same restraints as the ordinary judgments of the state. We get a little bit of Augustine and Aquinas this week, and, as a curious sidebar, a look at 1 Samuel chapter 14, particularly verse 6: “it may be . . .”
A good but challenging book on the subject is Oliver O’Donovan’s The Just War Revisited.
