055 - Retaliation and Just War
from The Commentary Hosted by J. MARK BERTRAND
Jesus tells us to turn the other cheek and not resist evil-doers, but in a fallen world, wouldn’t that kind of passivity open the door for evil to triumph? In this episode, Cameron and Mark put the Sermon on the Mount in its uncomfortable but essential context. They also discuss the various ways Christian theology has approached the idea of a “just war.” Mentioned in this episode: Pierre Viret’s Concept of a Just War, by Robert D. Linder
