In so doing, they have argued that war in the pursuit of justice may at times be necessary, but must be conducted with responsibility and restraint. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe essays in this volume analyze and honor the thought of James Turner Johnson, the preeminent historian of the just war tradition in the twenty-first century. Whether one considers the theological, cross-cultural, or secular stands of the centuries-old tradition, the scholarship and ideas of Johnson, spanning more than half a century, are prominent in academic literature, the academy, and the profession of arms. The ethics of war, justice, law of armed conflict, human rights, terrorism and the international order, international humanitarian law, and issues of faith and force are among the many topics addressed by Johnson that contributors discuss in these pages. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #16512c;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith Contributions By\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #16512c;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristian Nickolaus Braun\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #16512c;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaniel R.
