Politics, justice, and war : Christian governance and the ethics of warfare / Joseph E. Capizzi.

• This title strives to clarify the meaning and coherence of the 'just war' approach to the use of force in the context of Christian ethics. By reconnecting the just war ethic to an Augustinian political approach, the book shows the just war ethic requires emphasis on the 'right intention', or goal, of peace as ordered justice. With peace set as the goal of war, the various criteria of the just war ethic gain their intelligibility and help provide practical guidance to all levels of society regarding when to go to war and how to strive to contain it.
