From the interface of these two long- \u003cbr\u003estanding and seemingly incompatible traditions emerges a \u003cbr\u003esurprisingly fruitful discussion over a common set of values, \u003cbr\u003eproblems, and interests: the presumption against harm, the \u003cbr\u003erelation of justice and order, the ethics of civil \u003cbr\u003edisobedience, the problem of self-righteousness in moral \u003cbr\u003ediscourse about war, the ethics of nuclear deterrence, and \u003cbr\u003ethe need for practical reasoning about the morality of war. \u003cbr\u003eMiller pays critical attention to thinkers such as Augustine \u003cbr\u003eand Thomas Aquinas, as well as to modern thinkers like H. \u003cbr\u003eRichard Niebuhr, Paul Ramsey, Martin Luther King, Jr., James \u003cbr\u003eDouglass, the Berrigans, William O'Brien, Michael Walzer, and \u003cbr\u003eJames Childress. He demonstrates how pacifism and just-war \u003cbr\u003etenets can be joined around both theoretical and practical \u003cbr\u003eissues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eInterpretations of Conflict\u003c\/i\u003e is a work of massive \u003cbr\u003escholarship and careful reasoning that should interest \u003cbr\u003ephilosophers, theologians, and religious ethicists alike. It \u003cbr\u003eenhances our moral literacy about injury, suffering, and \u003cbr\u003ekilling, and offers a compelling dialectical approach to \u003cbr\u003eethics in a pluralistic society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRichard B.
