Audio from September 25, 2004 Seminar on War and Pacifism:

Is Pacifism more Christian?
A Teach-in on Just War Theology

For hundreds of years, the Christian church has wrestled with the topics of war and justice. This seminar will explore issues of pacifism and war from a Christian perspective. This will not be a debate---all of the speakers share the perspective that war is sometimes justified---but the ethics and justice of war will be given a critical look in light of the teaching of the Bible. Ample time will be given for questions from the audience.
