A MORAL-THEOLOGICAL VIEW UPON WAR FROM A PEACE PERSPECTIVE
A MORAL-THEOLOGICAL VIEW UPON WAR FROM A PEACE PERSPECTIVE

Summary/Abstract: Christian bioethics deals with topics such as war, every time, in counterweight to its alternative: peace. The teaching of the Christian faith identifies war as a result of evil, sin and manʼs alienation from God. In fact, it is about a decay and moral degradation of the relationship that man has with God and with his fellow men. In the counterbalance of the conflict, there is peace, which in order to be complete depends on certain factors that I will identify and address in this article, in which I start from the explanations of the just war and conclude with a unique perspective on war: peace, from the point of view of the Fathers of the Eastern Church and of the theology of modern Christian scholar. Finally, the reader can understand the essence of the Christian message regarding peace and the importance of this imperative of good understanding and communion, as a state of essential primacy and as a final goal of eternal life.
