In this introductory edition, Daniel Strand and Marc LiVecche launch a short series dedicated to a discussion of the just war tradition. Over the following episodes, they will discuss jus ad bellum requirements of right authority, just cause, and right intent, as well as the prudential criteria such as last resort, probability of success, and the like. They will then address the tradition's jus in bello concerns of discrimination and proportionality, and will explore the role that military necessity plays.

This introductory episode discusses the place of just war thinking in Christian thought, its goals and aspirations, and contrary voices.
