{"product_id":"9781451405729","title":"The Horrors We Bless: Rethinking the Just-War Legacy","description":"Is war inevitable? Early Christians, says Maguire, were unanimous in opposing this view. They didn't see war as normal but as an outrage and even a sacrilege. Later Christians succumbed to the supposed \"normalcy\" of war but developed what later became known as the \"just war theory\" as a deterrent to the rush to war. In this provocative and helpful book Maguire analyzes this history and proposes a new framework for thinking of war, peace, and state-sponsored violence. Maguire's proposal brings clarity and hope to the vital conversation about war in our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDaniel C Maguire is Professor of Ethics at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Augsburg Fortress, Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128594514160,"sku":"9781451405729","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781451405729_p0.jpg?v=1763838924","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781451405729","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
