Christian Moral Identity in Light of the Attitude to State‑Organized Violence: the Just War Theory and Christian Pacifist Practice as Manifestations of Two Mutually Irreducible Ethical Approaches

• Languages of publication: CS

Abstracts

The author examines the dual identity of a Christian as a member of the temporal political community, sharing its language, resources, and concerns, and a member of the community of faith founded on Jesus, called to witness to the new life made possible in Christ’s cross and resurrection, in light of the just­‑war vs. pacifism debate. She identifies the distinct strategies of addressing ethical concerns underlying the two types of attitudes, viz. natural law ethics and ethics of life transformed by conversion and grace, as well as the corresponding accents on the futurity or presence of the Kingdom of God. While the two do not exclude one other, neither may be omitted if a full Christian moral vision is to be attained. The former has served to perfect moral discourse accessible to all human beings. The latter serves to sustain hope and promote distinctly Christian values.
