Plans to add to existing article[edit]

After reviewing the article on Christian Pacifism, it seems as if it not only contains a ton of lengthy quotes, but there is a need for more substance behind those quotes. Since the section on The Old Testament appears first, and I feel it lays the foundation for the article, I plan to add some research regarding the Old Testament perspective on war. The roots of Christian pacifism lie within the Old Testament, but since wars did take place during that time, it is important to discuss the purpose behind the wars in ancient Israel. Below are some of the research sources I have found and potentially might use.

--Peer Review-- Tyler great work with all of the quality information and sourcing. I can only assume that you are adding this whole new section to the Christian Pacifism page? If so, great job. Looking through the page I think you're setting a good tone of format for how the article should be. If anything more can be added beyond just the old testament section. There are still many sections that can be made stronger such as Ministry of Jesus or Early Church. Keep up the work.Josavala (talk) 23:16, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
