Book Description

Even though America was founded upon a belief that its mission was providentially ordained, its foreign policy decisions have failed to recognize the growing significance of religious faith as a global concern. With an eye on the turbulent century ahead, God and Global Order implores policy makers to recognize the power of faith to inform and enhance U.S. foreign policy. The contributors warn that ignoring the far-reaching role of faiths (those both religious and secular) and their influence upon international agendas could carry disastrous consequences--both for the U.S. and for the larger global order.

"Wonderful grist for academicians and practitioners alike. This book of thoughtful essays by world-class authors advances the field of religion and foreign policy on a number of important fronts."―Douglas M. Johnston, President, International Center for Religion & Diplomacy and Author of Faith-Based Diplomacy: Trumping Realpolitik

"This eminent group of scholars probes what international relations might look like if we took religion seriously. From issues concerning humanitarian intervention to advancing the Israel-Palestine peace process, God and Global Order provides the necessary tools to help policy makers better navigate the world of pervasive religion. This is a tonic for what ails the field of international affairs."―Allen Hertzke, author of Freeing God's Children: The Unlikely Alliance for Global Human Rights

This book will quickly become a must-read for anyone who takes faith and international affairs seriously."―Chris Seiple, President, Institute for Global Engagement and Publisher of The Review of Faith & International Affairs
