Review "Perry T. Hamalis, Valerie A. Karras (eds.), Orthodox Christian Perspectives on War (Notre Dame: University of Notre Dame Press, 2018), 402 pages, ISBN - 978-0-268-10277-7," in Review of Ecumenical Studies, Vol. 10, Issue 2 (August 2018), 290-293. (original) (raw)

The review discusses "Orthodox Christian Perspectives on War," co-edited by Perry T. Hamalis and Valerie A. Karras, which explores Orthodox Christianity's theological views on war through various contributions from respected theologians. The book is structured into three parts, addressing contemporary discussions around the ethics of war, historical perspectives within Orthodox tradition, and the interplay between war and theology. Although it provides deep insights into Orthodox thought, the review critiques its lack of direct engagement with modern warfare realities, ultimately praising the volume as a significant scholarly resource for moral and theological reflection on war.
