Summary
The purpose of this volume is two-fold. First, to reconstruct and debate a contemporary Christian realist framework, and second, to apply such a perspective to the issues of contemporary politics such as the Bush Doctrine, the laws of war, democracy and democratization, U.S. participation in international institutions, and apocalyptic terrorism.
