Is War Ever Just? Frank Turek Explains Just War Theory and Christian Ethics





By Peter Demos

Published on August 20, 2025

Should Christians ever go to war — or are we called to pacifism? In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, Christian apologist and author Dr. Frank Turek joins host Peter Demos to unpack the biblical foundations of Just War Theory — a framework first articulated by Augustine and rooted in Scripture. From Romans 13 to Genesis 9, Dr. Turek explains why government bears the sword to protect the innocent, when war is morally justified, and why loving our neighbor sometimes requires defending them against evil.

Peter Demos is the author of On the Duty of Christian Civil Disobedience and the host of Uncommon Sense in Current Times. A Christian business leader from Tennessee, Demos uses his biblical perspective and insight gained from his own struggles to lead others to truth and authenticity in a broken world.
