How to Do Justice to Diverse Identities in the Middle East
The Israel–Palestine conflict is characterized by asymmetries in power and resources. The best option for justice is the emergence of two neighboring states that cooperate in dealing equitably with their diverse citizens. This will bring greater honor and security to Jews throughout the world. However, if John Mearsheimer and others are correct that the goal of a two‐state solution is now so unlikely that it is tantamount to fantasy, then we can …
Justice, Even in War
While The National Association of Evangelicals is to be commended for signing a declaration against torture, the document does not address the issue of terrorism as justifying America's new terrorist interrogation tactics. If protecting America above all is the highest moral purpose, then many unjust means can be employed to serve that “higher” end; before long the rights of Americans, particularly of comrades in military service, rank higher tha…
The Cfia Forum
James Skillen responds to Walter Russell Mead's Sept./Oct. 2006 Foreign Affairs article, “God's Country?” and critiques Mead's assertion that evangelical influence on U.S. foreign policy and support for Israel stem from their theological or evangelical characteristics.

The works of Iris Murdoch, Stanley Hauerwas, Reinhold Niebuhr, Joseph Sax, and Thomas Merton are discussed, culminating in an aesthetic vision of environmental ethics as "praise for all things." The course aims more to foster a genera…

The thesis of this paper is that the idea or vision of what Europe ought to be, politically speaking, will become increasingly urgent in the decade ahead, and that this important question will not be addressed solely or suf~ciently by means of functional or sectoral diplomacy as represented currently by the European Community (EC), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the Conferenoe on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), and so f…

The Naked Public Square
In the 1980s, The Naked Public Square was one of the most frequently discussed books on American religion and politics. It will remain worth reading throughout the 1990s. Broadly speaking, Neuhaus' argument runs like this: Contrary to the dogmas of secular Enlightenment ... religion has neither withered away nor can it successfully be confined to the private spheres of (139). The new is evidence of the resurgence of potent religion, testifying to…
