  'Can a Christian answer the empire's call to military duty and still answer a clear conscience before God? Fifth-century philosopher, St Augustine of Hippo, sought to provide a solution to the two problems. This title also identifies the effect of the Augustinian legacy upon medieval and modern philosophical reflections on the nature of warfare.
