Your View of War - Word Document [Download]

Making sense of how Christians differ on military intervention.

Overview


We may feel that God is on our side in supporting U.S. military action in Iraq, but that view is difficult if not impossible to substantiate from the Bible.

In this study, we ll explore five possible responses to war and some biblical texts that seem to support two opposite conclusions. How should we react to military intervention?
