War and Peace (Part 1)

Toward a Radically Christian CountercultureSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg explores the topic of war and peace from a Christian perspective. He discusses the history of Christian attitudes towards war, with some early Christian figures such as Polycarp and Tertullian opposing participation in warfare. Gregg argues that while the Bible does offer some support for war, it also emphasizes the importance of trusting in God rather than weapons and of leaving vengeance to God. Overall, he suggests that Christians should seek to avoid war if possible and place their faith in God's ultimate judgment.
