Book Synopsis Faith- Based Diplomacy Trumping Realpolitik by : Douglas Johnston
Download or read book Faith- Based Diplomacy Trumping Realpolitik written by Douglas Johnston and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-02 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of the twentieth century, the most critical concerns of national security have been balance-of-power politics and the global arms race. The religious conflicts of this era and the motives behind them, however, demand a radical break with this tradition. If the United States is to prevail in its long-term contest with extremist Islam, it will need to re-examine old assumptions, expand the scope of its thinking to include religion and other "irrational" factors, and be willing to depart from past practice. A purely military response in reaction to such attacks will simply not suffice. What will be required is a long-term strategy of cultural engagement, backed by a deeper understanding of how others view the world and what is important to them. In non-Western cultures, religion is a primary motivation for political actions. Historically dismissed by Western policymakers as a divisive influence, religion in fact has significant potential for overcoming the obstacles that lead to paralysis and stalemate. The Incorporation of religion as part of the solution to such problems is as simple as it is profound. It is long overdue. This book looks at five intractable conflicts and explores the possibility of drawing on religion as a force for peace. It builds upon the insights of Religion, the Missing Dimension of Statecraft (OUP, 1994) -- which examined the role that religious or spiritual factors can play in preventing or resolving conflict -- while achieving social change based on justice and reconciliation. The world-class authors writing in this volume suggest how the peacemaking tenets of five major world religions can be strategically applied in ongoing conflicts in which those religions are involved. Finally, the commonalities and differences between these religions are examined with an eye toward further applications in peacemaking and conflict resolution.
Download or read book Be the People written by Carol Swain and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2011-06-13 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forces are rapidly reshaping America's morals, social policies, and culture—but how do we stop it? Learn how to make your voice heard and reclaim America’s faith and values by reshaping our country’s current trajectory. Cultural elites in the media, academia, and politics are daily deceiving millions of Americans into passively supporting policies that are harmful to the nation and their own best interest. Although some Americans can see through the smokescreen, they feel powerless to stop the forces inside and outside government that radically threaten their values and principles. Drawing on her training in political science and law, Dr. Swain thoughtfully examines the religious significance of the founding of our nation and the deceptions that have crept into our daily lives and now threaten traditional families, unborn children, and members of various racial and ethnic groups—as well as national sovereignty itself. Dr. Swain provides encouraging action items for the people of our country to make the political system more responsive. The book is divided into two sections: forsaking what we once knew and re-embracing truth and justice in policy choices. Be the People covers key topics including: The damage caused political correctness and its censoring of traditional Christian expression of thought America's shift to moral relativism and its religious roots Erosion of rule of law, national security, and immigration Abortion's fragile facade and the true toll it takes Racial and ethnic challenges How we can reclaim the future In Be the People, Carol takes a candid look at the problems our country faces but that we’re often uncomfortable speaking honestly about, providing hope and actionable solutions to change the direction of America while we still can. “Be the People is a courageous analysis of today’s most pressing issues, exposing the deceptions by the cultural elite and urging ‘We the People’ to restore America’s faith and values.” —Sean Hannity

Book Synopsis The Losing Battle With Islam by : David Selbourne
Download or read book The Losing Battle With Islam written by David Selbourne and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2010-09-09 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive study of the Islamic revival from 1947 to the present, historian David Selbourne traces in detail the complex causes motivating the rise of Muslim fundamentalism in many countries and the West''s largely uncomprehending response to it. He frankly describes the hostilities, cruelties, and errors of judgment on both sides.Writing neither from the "left" nor from the "right," Selbourne pieces together up-to-date information from more numerous sources than in any other work on the subject. He highlights the grotesque role that some sections of the Western media have played and seeks to do justice to the Islamist cause, demonstrating how many of the real issues of the Islamic revival have been evaded.Selbourne argues that whether the "reawakening" of the Islamic and Arab worlds has taken the political form of Arab nationalism, as under the leadership of Egyptian President Gamal Abdul Nasser in the 1950s, or the economic form of the OPEC oil embargo in 1973 and 1974, or the religious form of the Iranian revolution of 1989 and the present al-Qaeda suicide squads, in all its guises it is motivated by a sense of entitlement in Muslims to determine their own destiny free of Western subordination.Selbourne concludes with a warning against the illusions of the West about its superiority and ability to contain a force that is confident of its own moral superiority and certain of its ultimate triumph.Addressed both to general readers and to policy makers, academics, and journalists, The Losing Battle with Islam will stand for some time as one of the most impartial and authoritative accounts of a half century of Western conflict with Islam.

Book Synopsis From Bible Belt to Sunbelt: Plain-Folk Religion, Grassroots Politics, and the Rise of Evangelical Conservatism by : Darren Dochuk
Download or read book From Bible Belt to Sunbelt: Plain-Folk Religion, Grassroots Politics, and the Rise of Evangelical Conservatism written by Darren Dochuk and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2010-12-13 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prize-winning, five-decade history of the evangelical movement in Southern California that explains a sweeping realignment of American politics. From Bible Belt to Sun Belt tells the dramatic and largely unknown story of “plain-folk” religious migrants: hardworking men and women from Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas who fled the Depression and came to California for military jobs during World War II. Investigating this fiercely pious community at a grassroots level, Darren Dochuk uses the stories of religious leaders, including Billy Graham, as well as many colorful, lesser-known figures to explain how evangelicals organized a powerful political machine. This machine made its mark with Barry Goldwater, inspired Richard Nixon’s “Southern Solution,” and achieved its greatest triumph with the victories of Ronald Reagan. Based on entirely new research, the manuscript has already won the prestigious Allan Nevins Prize from the Society of American Historians. The judges wrote, “Dochuk offers a rich and multidimensional perspective on the origins of one of the most far-ranging developments of the second half of the twentieth century: the rise of the New Right and modern conservatism.”
Book Synopsis The Rule of Faith by : Everett Ferguson
Download or read book The Rule of Faith written by Everett Ferguson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rule of faith was a summary of apostolic preaching and teaching made by writers of the early Christian centuries. As such it carries great importance for what the early church considered basic to its being and identity. It was not a fixed text, like a creed, but varied in wording and content according to circumstances. Yet, despite this flexibility and diversity, there is a clear Christ-centered, Trinitarian core at the heart of the rule shared by the early apostolic churches. In this short guide, Everett Ferguson introduces readers to the primary sources of our knowledge of the rule, the variety of ways in which ancient Christian authors spoke of the rule, and different scholarly attempts to interpret this ancient evidence. Ferguson argues that statements of the rule of faith were used to instruct new or potential converts, to combat false teachings, and to provide a framework for interpreting the Scriptures. He maintains that the rule retains considerable importance for churches of the twenty-first century.

Book Synopsis The Pentagon of Faith by : Donald R. Hayes
Download or read book The Pentagon of Faith written by Donald R. Hayes and published by . This book was released on 2023-03-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tenets of the Pentagon of Faith have been developed over a lifetime of observation and study. Through the combination of classroom training and spiritual journeys in Europe from England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Scandinavia to the Middle East from Israel to Jordan; Dr. Hayes has a unique outlook on how Christians express their devotion to God through worship. He discovered that the liturgical worship services of today have their roots in the Shabbat where he gathers with his Messianic Jewish wife (Cynthia Bush) to celebrate the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at Beth Israel Temple in Florence, S.C. Dr. Hayes grew up in the Southern Baptist denomination where evangelical worship abounded but gravitated to the more traditional expression of worship through centuries-old liturgical traditions which have their beginnings in first century Judea, Samaria, and Galilee. Were they still here, C.S. Lewis, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther, and Francis Schaeffer would all enjoy the truths and evaluations in this book. Flesh versus Spirit, Good versus Evil, Sacred Theism versus Secular Humanism, the Hebrews call it Tob and Ra. The Pentagon of Faith examines our historic faith and helps us understand and navigate the unexpected twists and turns of our lives when we take a cue from the faith of our fathers. Their faith in God and His Son Jesus Christ shows us that eternal life is worth living the traditional faith of our fathers."One of the best books I have ever read. Every person should have a copy of this book."- THE REV. WILLIAM RHETT, CHARLESTON, S.C."Quite frankly, I could not put it down."- THE REV. H. FRED GOUGH, DARLINGTON, S.C."Dear Father, how can I thank you enough!!! Great book!!!- THE RT. REV. KEITH L. ACKERMAN,RETIRED BISHOP OF QUINCEY, KELLAR, TEXAS.
