Military Chaplaincy in Contention (eBook, ePUB)

Chaplains, Churches and the Morality of Conflict
Redaktion: Todd, Andrew

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Through the unique chaplain's eye view of the significance of their experience for understanding the ethics of war, this book offers clearer understanding of chaplaincy in the context of the changing nature of international conflict (shaped around insurgency and non-state forces) and explores the response of faith communities to the role of the armed services. It makes the case for relocating understandings of just war within a theological framework and for a clear understanding of the relationship between the mission of chaplaincy and that of the military.
