| Abstract | Is war inevitable? Is it so woven into the fabric of our being that it always was and always will be? This text argues that later Christians succumbed to the supposed 'normalcy' of war and developed what later became known as the 'just-war theory', which was actually devised as a deterrent to the rush to war. |
