Mere Fidelity: Can Christians Ever Support War?

March 9th, 2015 | 1 min read

Can Christians ever support war? That's the question we take up with special guest Preston Sprinkle, author of the widely praised book Fight. It's a lively, feisty discussion of an important issue and we hope you listen in.

If you want reading from the other side, Nigel Biggar's In Defence of War is worth considering. (Disclosure: he's my advisor.) You can see my own thoughts on it here.

If you enjoyed the show (AND ONLY IF), leave us a review at iTunes. If you didn’t enjoy the show, let us know and we’ll work to make it better. Or we’ll ignore you. And if you want to subscribe by RSS, you can do that here.

Finally, as always, follow Derek, Alastair, and Andrew for more tweet-sized brilliance. And thanks to Timothy Motte for his sound editing work.
