God’s Cold Warrior

History & Biography

“Wilsey illuminates the important role of Christianity in the life and work of John Foster Dulles, the towering and controversial US secretary of state in the Eisenhower administration. The book highlights how Dulles’s progressive faith guided his ecumenical church service in the 1940s and his work as America’s leading diplomat in the 1950s. While some scholars view Dulles as an inflexible moralist who intensified the Cold War with the Soviet Union, Wilsey’s biography offers a helpful corrective, providing a sympathetic account of this influential public servant.”

The Bible and the Ballot

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Longman’s book illuminates core biblical principles to help guide moral reflection on public-policy issues. Christian citizens will find the introductory chapters on biblical interpretation and the subsequent case studies on domestic and global issues especially helpful in the challenging task of integrating faith and politics.”
