I recently reviewed the book “Just War Theory and Literary Studies: An Invitation to Dialogue” (by Ty Hawkins and Andrew Kim) for the journal Christianity and Literature (December 2023). I found that “this book’s careful and attentive reading of American literature, spanning seventy-five years and four major wars, revives the discussion of JWT, and elucidates, as the authors intend, ‘a living just war ethic’ for the twenty-first century (141). Clearly written, with concrete examples and contemporary relevance, Just War Theory and Literary Studies will generously reward anyone interested in contemplating war, peace, and human flourishing in our time.”
