Reinforced by the constitutional separation between church and state, policymakers have shied away from this potentially volatile and divisive issue. In this timely precient book, one of the most renowned figures in American politic argues that in today’s climate, a secular approach is no longer sufficient. The 21st century seems to be devolving into a period of religious war, and in an era of confrontation between international terrorism and the West, our political leaders can no longer avoid dealing directly and explicitly with religious issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn The Mighty and the Almighty, Madeleine Albright examines religion and foreign affairs through the lens of U.S. history as well as her own experience in public office. She offers a sharp critique of U.S. policy, condemnation for those who exploit religious fervor for violent ends, and praise for political, cultural, and spiritual leaders who seek to harness the values of faith to unite us in these confusing and dangerous times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIlluminating and engrossing, this is a provocative work calling for leadership that is bold enough to rein in divisive religious rivalries and lay the groundwork for a new moral consensus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow should America navigate a world where faith is a force for both unity and division?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eReligion and Foreign Policy:\u003c\/b\u003e A powerful argument for why policymakers can no longer afford to ignore the role of religious belief in international affairs, drawing on Albright’s personal experiences in public office.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eConfronting Extremism:\u003c\/b\u003e A sharp critique of those who exploit religious fervor for violent ends and a clear-eyed look at the challenges of confronting international terrorism in the modern era.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA New Moral Consensus:\u003c\/b\u003e An examination of U.S. history and America’s global purpose, calling for bold leadership to harness the values of faith for liberty and tolerance, not terror.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePolitical Islam and the West:\u003c\/b\u003e An essential analysis of the complex relationship between Western governments and the diverse world of political Islam, from the Middle East to Europe and Africa.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42938094584063,"sku":"9780060892586","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780060892586_s600x595.jpg?v=1779894655","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780060892586","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
