Ronald Stone has done as much, or more, than anyone else to utilize the Christian realism of Reinhold Niebuhr to deal with the conflicts of the twenty-first century. In this book he devotes special and perceptive attention to the role of religion in these conflicts. His helpful insights—historical, political, moral, and theological—deserve careful consideration.
