Abstract
I read with interest the article by Mark T. Clark on "The Paradox of War and Pacifism." I had expected that the premise of the article would be to weigh the two views that Christians have had on "Just War" and "Pacifism." Unfortunately, I found that there was really very little on the latter. I understand that Dr. Clark comes form a military background, but this does not justify the one-sided view. There were no references anywhere in the text to some of the classical Christian theologians of the pacifist side: John Howard Yoder (The Politics of Jesus), Ronald Sider (Christ and Violence), Maynard Shelly (New Call for Peacemakers), etc. or to some of our pacifist forefathers, such as Menno Simons or Conrad Grebel.
