Please recommend to me books, thorough articles, or shows that explore this subject. There is so much out there promoting nonviolence, but Incant find good arguments exploring the case for violence. Any direction is appreciated.

That’s because there are no theological arguments for offensive Christian violence within the context of the New Testament mission to make disciples of all ethnos. Matthew 26:52 shows that the weapons of the world are not the means by which God’s Kingdom will advance. There are examples of this in the book of Acts. The disciples would try to teach people and sometimes would receive violence in return. They didn’t use violence to bring the gospel to people, and they didn’t use inquisition methods of forceful conversion.
