Stratiotology – The biblical doctrine of the Christian as Soldier

The Bible has a lot to say about soldiers and war. One of the most recognized verses is the Apostle Paul’s analogy of the Christian as a soldier: 

 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.  2 Timothy 2:3 -4

Stephen Macasil of biblicalthought.com has done an excellent job of laying the foundation of a formal study of Christian soldiering. His stated goal is “to establish the subject of Stratiotology as a bona-fide area of systematic theology.”
