Marc Livecche's contribution, Just War, is so far the best in the book. More than any chapter to date, Just War recounts the history of Western Christianity's just war tradition and brings it to the present. Livecche deftly--but critically--weaves together the insights of Martin Luther and contemporary writers including Reinhold Niebuhr and Livecche's doctoral supervisor, Jean Bethke Elshtain, and brings valuable clarity to the the issues of jus ad bellum and jus in bello. His insights on the proposal to treat moral injury as a subset of PTSD and the help that a consistent theory of just war can provide alone make the chapter (and book) worth reading.
