While Roman Catholic ethics of war and peace develops more restrictive criteria of just war and reprioritizes nonviolence, an important strand of Protestant theology defends war as a God-given instrument of government’s multiple ends.

This essay assesses these approaches and pacifism, concluding with a perspective from the Global South.
