'May I warmly commend to you this book, bringing together academics, leading members of the Church, politicians and the military. At a time when our foreign policy is rightly scrutinized by many within our society, this book shows that it is through our foreign policy that we express the values that we have in our country. I am very grateful to those who have compiled this book and allowed others to continue the debate on the Church's involvement in issues of war, ethics in foreign policy, the arms trade, and issues of aid and trade.' The Right Reverend Tim Stevens, Bishop of Leicester, UK
