Hello friends,
In my last article, I shared a video entitled: What is Just War Theory?
That video serves as a basic introduction (or “101”) on the so-called “Christian” just war doctrine.
(If you haven’t watched it yet, I encourage you to do so here when you have 10 minutes or so to spare to learn about an interesting piece of Christian history.)
In our latest video, however, we move from discussing the basics of “Christian” just war theory to understanding its surprising origins.
Watch as we expose the historical roots of this doctrine, tracing it back to ancient Egypt, Confucian philosophy, Hindu religion, and the influential Roman orator Cicero.
Prepare to have your beliefs challenged as you discover that Just War theory, far from being a Christian revelation, finds its foundation in ancient pagan religion and philosophy.
In this thought-provoking video excerpt, Jerry Robinson easily dismantles the widely held belief that Just War theory was first introduced to the world by revered Christian figures like Augustine and Ambrose.
By exploring its connections to various ancient pagan ideologies, Jerry uncovers a truth that may shock many Christians who rely on the Just War theory to justify military engagements.
As you watch this video, be prepared to confront deep-seated assumptions and question the origins of your own beliefs on this topic.
