When Liberalism Is Not Enough
In this paper, we are interested in extending out the dialectical models of religious ethics and political theology that Reinhold Niebuhr and Emmanuel Levinas began by enacting a conversation between these two theorists. We do this by presenting and critically comparing Niebuhr's and Levinas's thought as concerns three key issues in moral and political theory: (1) the nature of persons, (2) the source and content of the moral ideal of love and th…

Recent Work on Reinhold Niebuhr
Since September 11th, there has been a renaissance of interest in Reinhold Niebuhr and Christian Realism. Niebuhr's name has been invoked to support several, often conflicting projects in theology and politics.

It concludes with an analysis of contemporary Islamic radicalism using…

The works of Augustine may offer new ways of thinking through the categories of this debate. In an early period, Augustine develops the distinction between evil done and evil suffered. Augustine's early treatments of war locate the saint as detached sage doing only good, and immune from evil suffered. In a middle period, he develops a ri…
