Across the centuries, how have Christians who follow the Prince of Peace responded to the recurring reality of war? And what guidance do they offer for believers today in the midst of global conflict? In When God Says War Is Right, Dr. Darrell Cole offers thorough and highly readable answers, providing an expert examination that focuses on topics such as relating the character of God with the use of force; determining when and how Christians ought to fight; and understanding why Christian virtues are vital when using force. Dr. Cole focuses on Romans 13, where Paul commands us to "do what is right" (or "good" or "noble") in regard to our governing authorities, who have legitimate war-making authority. In the case of war, what is "right" for the Christian? This book answers that essential question. In today’s war-stricken world, Dr. Cole provides timely, trustworthy, and much-needed guidance for Christians.
