James M. Childs Jr. is co-author with Wollom A. Jensen of Moral Warriors, Moral Wounds: The Ministry of the Christian Ethic. Childs is the Joseph A. Sittler Professor Emeritus of Theology and Ethics at Trinity. His other publications include Ethics in the Community of Promise: Faith, Formation, and Decision and The Way of Peace: Christian Life in the Face of Discord. In Moral Warriors, the authors strive to articulate the ministry of military chaplaincy, the nature of moral wounds, and a way of reflection on the nature of war that is firmly grounded in the moral theology of the Christian community. 

“…The Christian ethic, with its stark realism and assurance of divine grace can do more than give directions about right and wrong; it can speak to the spiritual health of those caught in some of life’s worst heart-rending situations.”
