This work discusses why the U.S. needed to drop the atomic bombs on Japan to achieve their objectives in the Pacific Theater of World War II.

The Christ Letter is a conversation partner for pastors and students of the Bible who want to wrestle with the meaning of the biblical text for Christian living today. Scholarly commentaries perform an essential task, but they often leave today's believers on their own when it comes to making Paul's letter come alive.
