Synopsis

James Turner Johnson has been publishing articles on the just war tradition for almost fifty years. He has articulated the just war position with clarity and precision, showing its historical and religious foundations as well as its prominence in contemporary international law. In this volume, selected from his many writings are twenty-five articles, presentations, and other material from his numerous publications. Readers will find published and previously unpublished works that show the breadth and depth of his thought as well as his belief that the tradition remains relevant, flexible, and viable in the twenty-first century. Among the many subjects discussed with respect to the just war tradition readers will find discussions as diverse as international law, torture, recent Roman Catholic perspectives, noncombatants, Augustine, Holy War, Islam, Thomas Aquinas, and human rights.
