Yet policy makers, religious leaders, and scholars often neglect Orthodoxy's resources when they reflect on the challenges of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough essays written by prominent Orthodox scholars in the fields of biblical studies, church history, Byzantine studies, theology, patristics, political science, ethics, and biology, \u003ci\u003eOrthodox Christian Perspectives on War\u003c\/i\u003e presents and examines the Orthodox tradition's nuanced and unique insights on the meaning and challenges of war with an eye toward their contemporary relevance. This volume is structured in three parts: \"Confronting the Present Day Reality,\" \"Reengaging Orthodoxy's Tradition,\" and \"Constructive Directions in Orthodox Theology and Ethics.\" Each exemplifies the value of interdisciplinary reflection on \"war\" and the potential for the Eastern Orthodox tradition to enhance ecumenical and interfaith discussions surrounding war in both domestic and international contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors do not advance a single account of \"the meaning of war\" or a comprehensive and normative stance purporting to be \"\u003ci\u003ethe\u003c\/i\u003e Orthodox Christian teaching on war.\" Instead, this collection presents the breadth and depth of Orthodox Christian thought in a way that engages Orthodox and non-Orthodox readers alike. In addition to offering fresh resources for all people of good will to understand, prevent, and respond faithfully to war, this book will appeal to Christian theologians who specialize in ethics, to libraries of academic institutions, and to scholars of war\/peace studies, international relations, and Orthodox thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: Peter C.
