The development of criteria to determine whether a war is just in its cause and to set\nlimits for the waging of such a war is traced from its roots in classical Greek and Roman thought to\nits fuller elaboration through over 1,000 years of Christian history from St. Augustine to the 17th\ncentury. The shaping of Just War tradition in the context of moral theology and philosophy alike is\nnoted, as well as the gradual secularization of Just War theory in modern times.", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORTS", "active": false, "formats": [ { "format": "PDF", "encoding": null, "url": "http://www.crs.gov/Reports/pdf/87-915", "sha1": "d7d7a86b9d9ecfbd7236f5e83d834f3f1130c440", "filename": "files/19871120_87-915_d7d7a86b9d9ecfbd7236f5e83d834f3f1130c440.pdf", "images": null }, { "format": "HTML", "filename": "files/19871120_87-915_d7d7a86b9d9ecfbd7236f5e83d834f3f1130c440.html" } ], "topics": [] } ], "topics": [] }
