Others, as pacifists, have rejected participation in or support for any war. Still others have followed the just-war tradition in holding that it can be justifiable under some conditions to resort to war, but that then Christian love must limit the conduct of war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn an updated preface and new afterword, Allen explores aspects of current international relations that have a special bearing on the context of war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Joseph Allen's \u003ci\u003eWar: A Primer for Christians\u003c\/i\u003e is just that: a succinct, fair-minded, wonderfully reasoned, and accessible account of the major Christian traditions on war--Just War, Holy War, and the Pacifist renunciation of violence. His book is also a primer in the further sense, that it will prime the pump for further discussion and debate as to when wars are just and how a nation might keep the means employed under restraints.\"--William F.
