The Future of Christian Realism : International Conflict, Political Decay, and the Crisis of Democracy Hardback
Edited by Dallas Gingles, Joshua Mauldin, Rebekah L. Miles
Part of the Faith and Politics: Political Theology in a New Key series
Hardback
Description
In the world’s most developed democracies, anxiety about the future of democracy itself is palpable.
The tension between moral aspiration and moral despair in modern political life has reached a point of crisis.
Christian Realism arose during a similar time of crisis, when Reinhold Niebuhr used the insights of the Christian tradition to interpret the clash between democracy and totalitarianism in the first half of the 20th century.
Beginning with Robin Lovin’s account of Niebuhr’s Christian realism as a nuanced blend of theological, moral, and political realisms, The Future of Christian Realism directly addresses fundamental topics in theology, ethics and politics.
The contributors of this volume come from different traditions, span five continents, and together present a case for the continuing relevance of Christian realism.
By paying close attention to many of the most pressing moral challenges facing societies today, the authors illustrate and evaluate the relevance of Christian realism in the contemporary world.
