The Problem of War in The Old Testament ( Seisho to Sensoh: Kyuyaku Seisho Niokeru Sensoh no Mondai )
The predominance of war in the Old Testament troubles many Christians. However, it is an issue that must be faced, because it has serious ramifications for contemporary Christian attitudes about war. The author categorizes the problems into two kinds — personal and external. The personal problems arise from the Christian's attempt to grapple with the emphasis on war in a book fundamental to the faith. The external problems are critiques against the Bible and the Christian faith, based on the war-like nature of the Old Testament and the close association between Christianity and war throughout history. Only by examining and understanding the problems of war in the Old Testament will Christians be able to respond intelligently to attacks on their faith, to educate their youth about the nature of war, and to influence modern attitudes toward war.
