A Christian Approach to Nuclear War
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 September 2018
Extract
There is no parallel between the wars of the past and the impending cataclysm brought on by nuclear war. This is evidenced in the contamination of the earth and its atmosphere, the entirely practical destruction of civilization, the genetic distortion of the race, and the possible extinction of human life and of earth's life-sustaining resources. It is clear that no beneficial results could follow from the employment of such brute force. In Christian terms this means that atomic war so offends against the doctrine of creation that a Christian rationale for war is no longer tenable.
