by Don Martin Jr., Publisher and Editor
Welcome to the Journal of Faith and War. This journal focuses on the innately spiritual nature of leadership in the formulation and execution of national security policies in the English-speaking nations of the world.
Our era is increasingly characterized by religious skepticism, secularization and moral relativism in the West. Thus those who will govern, direct, educate, lead and inspire the defense and security forces of our nations need to integrate the truths of their faith into their judgments, decisions and actions.
