Early Christianity is strongly pacifist. Mid-twentieth century Christianity has plenty of exponents who are satisfied that it is in accordance with Christian principles not only to wage war but to wage it by wiping out indiscriminately and at one blow millions of helpless civilians. The change of viewpoint is striking, to say the least. Yet as the author points out, mere ironic condemnation is here not a good enough response from the Christian; not nearly good enough. Many early Christians could give the problem of violence a magnificently over-simplified solution precisely because they were not really committed to the world; their archetypal relation to it was the simple head-on collision of martyrdom. It was only when the martyrdoms had begun to convert the world that Christians painfully realized that they could not contract out of running society, and that the problem of violence could not be tackled so simply.

The Crusades. The Conquest of the Americas. U.S. Slavery. The Jewish Holocaust. Mention of these events evokes a variety of responses from Christians, including guilt, defensiveness, and bewilderment. Given such a tangled historical relationship to aggression and injustice, how can Christians answer those who argue that our faith is inherently violent, or that Christian doctrines inevitably lead to sacrifice, conquest, and war? In Must Christianity Be Violent? editors Kenneth R. Chase and Alan Jacobs have gathered pointed essays that provide specific responses to these arguments. Divided into "histories," "practices," and "theologies," the essays explore the historical causation of Christian violence and discuss practices that promote what one contributor calls "just peacemaking." The contributors explore the history of Christian violence and advocate the need for an uncompromised biblical theology in our search for peace. This timely collection will appeal to readers of Christian history, ethics, and theology, and those who want to better understand the specifically Christian response to violence and cultivation of peace.
