Paper 2
Revise: Just War TheoryJust war theory is a set of ethical principles used to judge whether going to war, and the way a war is fought, can be morally acceptable. Here, just means morally justified: it does not mean that war is desirable or harmless.
Do not assume a war is just because Christians fight in it, or that all Christians accept just war theory.
