Description
Excerpt from Peace, War and the Christian Conscience
St. Ambrose (397) had made some adaptations of these principles to Christian thought, but St. Augus tine (430) elaborated them in fuller detail.
Augustine held that Christian perfection was not possible in this world and, consequently, that peace was not possible during man''s earthly pilgrimage. He also believed that one could be a Christian and kill his enemies because the destruction of the enemy''s body might actually benefit his soul. In fact, hetaught that only a man who loved his enemy might kill him.
