A Just War Is.......
A war which meets internationally accepted criteria for fairness;follows traditional christian rules for a just war, and is now accepted by all religions.
Christians are usually against warbut there are some occasions when Christians would say that war is necessaryto achieve Justice
They have come up with a Just War Theory which lays out some important rules for when war is acceptable or unacceptable.
This is known as: As The Just War Theory
It has 6 main rules/criteria/conditions which the war must meet in order for it to be a ‘just war’
If something is “just” then it is “right”. The first Christian to write about the morality of war was Saint Augustine in the 4th century. His ideas were developed by Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century.
