Important for the discussion prompt:
Make sure to Read the Chapter 11 in From Christ to the world file (p. 409) first for an overview of Christian thinking on just war. The three questions provide a framework for the discussion. the questions found there are: 1. is the use of force against evil ever justified? 2.) If so , in what circumstances and with what justification ? 3. If not , what must be said of the consequences of such nonresistance
