Christian Peace Ethics: Trends in the International (Anglophone) Debate

Abstract

At least three trends mark the terrain of Christian peace studies in the Anglophone world in recent years: a renewed debate about the place of active nonviolence and the just war tradition in Catholic social teaching, the rise of restorative justice in efforts to reconcile after violence, and a turn toward indigenous peace practices for resolving local conflicts. These three trends reflect robust dialogue amongst Christian scholars, working across disciplines, to engender greater peace and justice in the world today.
