This review is from: When is It Right to Fight? (Paperback)
I bought this book looking for enlightenment on the concept of the Just War, i.e. how and why wars can and should be fought. The title led me to believe that this book would address my questions. However, the book is actually a Biblical and historical refutation of pacifism. It accomplishes that goal well enough, so if that is what you are looking for, this book is adequate. It addresses the data from the Old and New Testaments, atristics and later theologians, and summarizes with a Q&A format. I'd suggest that a more appropriate title for this book would be, "Is it ever right to fight?" If, on the other hand, you are looking for a discussion of the just war, i.e. WHEN and HOW it is right to fight, look elsewhere.

Best Defense of Just War Theory ever!,
By David Ortega (Chino, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When is It Right to Fight? (Paperback)
Bob Morey's book, "When is it Right to Fight," gives the greatest defense of the Just War Theory ever given. Also, it refutes pacifism and non-resistance and shows their unreasonableness. The book uses the Scripture to justify war in necessary circumstances.

Morey is ignorant of the literature,
By
This review is from: When is it Right to Fight? (Paperback)
This book deals in stereotypes and caricatures. It ignores the example of Jesus Christ, and denies the exile status of God's predestined elect people. It begs the question continually by assuming that the "responsible" thing to do is to kill the bad guys. As in his book on hell and the immortality of the soul, there is no evidence of Morey carefully reading the literature of those he attacks.For a page by page refutation of this book, I recommend Richard Barber's "When is it right to Fight? Never", available from Pilgrim Brethren Press, po box 171, Petersburg, Ohio 44454. Barber is a sovereign grace pacifist, like me.
