Power Politics and Moral Order

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“What has the faith of forgiveness and reconciliation to do with the cold realities of power that dominate geopolitics? Joustra and Patterson’s volume traces a tradition of Christian political thought that studies the realities of power with clear eyes and a faithful commitment to order and neighborly love. What emerges is not denominational or partisan doctrine but a plurality of voices forming a compelling vision of international relations that is at once sober and hopeful.”

War, Peace, and Violence: Four Christian Views

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In War, Peace, and Violence, Paul Copan assembles a sample of scholars committed to robust defenses of divergent views on the believer's right response to a fallen and violent world. Remarkably, in an age of polarized vitriol, the four authors—representing not only competing Christian traditions but also quite distinct disciplines—demonstrate in their arguments rigor and charity in equal measure. What results is an excellent primer on the current state of a long intrafaith debate over how to hold together our faith and the competing interests shaping the interstate system.”
