Just War Resources (Online and Offline)

[RobertPGH1981]

This was a post that was made on the board but the links provided were not working. I am looking for resources on Just War Theory particularly both Western and Eastern resources between the patristics through the 12/13th Century. Anything that you can provide may lead me in the right direction!

Here was the original link: https://puritanboard.com/threads/just-war-links.10067/

Thanks,

In Defense of War by Nigel Biggar might point you in the right direction.

Indirectly, see Oliver and Joan Lockwood O'Donovan's From Irenaeus to Grotius. It will have said samplings.

I would recommend Saint Augustine and the Theory of Just War by John Mark Mattox as good book on the subject.

Anything on “unjust wars?” I’m thinking about taking some unprovoked cheap shots and want to do better.

Hopefully, they develop it out from Augustine onaward.

Excellent find! I have found that I picked an expensive topic to write on since most of these books tend to be rare.
