Grant to us, Lord, we beseech thee, the spirit to think and do always such things as are right, that we, who cannot exist without thee, may by thee be enabled to live according to thy will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Proper 14)

Fr Austin returns to this perennially important topic, with the hope that our thinking about it can be aided with some tools drawn from the thinking of Augustine and other greats, who were themselves thinking about war in terms shaped by the Bible. A good but challenging book on the subject is Oliver O’Donovan’s The Just War Revisited.
