The Ethics of War

Room 00-13, Ground Floor Chambers Building, OU, Milton Keynes

Drawing from his recent book, In Defence of War, Professor Nigel Biggar (Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology, Oxford) will sketch the history of Christian 'just war' reasoning and analyse three historical cases: the British invasion of Zululand in 1879, the Dublin Easter Rising in 1916, and Britain's war against Germany 1914-18. The seminar is co-organised with the Ferguson Centre.
