Book • 2009
J.
Daryl Charles' Between Pacifism and Jihad examines Christian approaches to war, arguing for a nuanced position that recognizes legitimate reasons for force while rejecting unjust violence.
The book explores classical just war criteria—such as just cause, last resort, and proportionality—within a biblical and theological framework.
Charles engages historical sources and contemporary cases to show how Christian ethics can responsibly address modern conflict.
He critiques extremes on both pacifist and militant sides and proposes careful moral reasoning for political and military leaders.
The work is aimed at clergy, students, and lay Christians seeking informed guidance on the morality of war.
