Current discussions of an unprovoked “first strike” against another country challenge the historic just-war doctrine. Is severely menacing behavior acceptable as legitimate basis for initiating an act of self-defense? Never is the issue whether war is good. The issue is whether war is in all cases entirely avoidable.

Hope for Life
This Bible study focuses on how God values human life and gives it purpose. The Apostles’ Creed declares that our triune God has redeemed all human life from sin, death, and the grave. He provides certain hope for eternal life, even in the face of death. Jesus is life for you.
