The tension between moral aspiration and moral despair in modern political life has reached a point of crisis. Christian Realism arose during a similar time of crisis, when Reinhold Niebuhr used the insights of the Christian tradition to interpret the clash between democracy and totalitarianism in the first half of the 20th century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeginning with Robin Lovin’s account of Niebuhr’s Christian realism as a nuanced blend of theological, moral, and political realisms, The Future of Christian Realism directly addresses fundamental topics in theology, ethics and politics. The contributors of this volume come from different traditions, span five continents, and together present a case for the continuing relevance of Christian realism. By paying close attention to many of the most pressing moral challenges facing societies today, the authors illustrate and evaluate the relevance of Christian realism in the contemporary world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface and Acknowledgements, Dallas Gingles, Joshua Mauldin, and Rebekah Miles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Realism in an Age of Global Dysfunction, Eric Gregory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection One: Theological and Ethical Points of Departure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: The Christian Socialist Difference: Moral Realism, Robin Lovin, Reinhold Niebuhr, and Democratic Socialism, Gary Dorrien\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: The Future of Theological Realism, Gerald McKenny\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: Christian Realism and Doctrine, Douglas F.
