| Summary: | A book about Christian realism and contemporary politics is timely as United States' leaders attempt to move away from the hubris of the Bush administration and its emphasis on unilateralism and preemptive military strategies. Eric Patterson's Christianity and Power Politics Today contains a collection of essays written by experts in political science, economics, government and international affairs, and ethics that applies the thought of a large cast of realists—John C. Bennett, Herbert Butterfield, John Foster Dulles, George Kennan, Martin Wight, and Reinhold Niebuhr—to contemporary political and economic dilemmas., Niebuhr and other realists were known for the ways that they underscored the serious struggles for power that held a tight grip upon global politics in the 1930s and 1940s. |
