Add on the challenge of establishing and living out a Christian ethic among states, where there may be few established norms and shared values, and you have the gargantuan task of doing international relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDoes Christianity have anything to say about global justice for modern nation-states? Can we look to the biblical vision for help with the complex problems of a globalized world? Robert Joustra answers with a resounding yes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChrist and Covenant in Global Politics casts a compelling vision for a Christian approach to international relations that seeks to transform global politics from systems driven by fear to covenantal global community based in shared loves, drawing on Augustine's understanding of rightly ordered loves and a contemporary Christian notion of covenantal pluralism. This groundbreaking textbook is designed for professors and students of international relations, offering a unique, faith-driven approach to global politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Christ and Covenant in Global Politics, Joustra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eintroduces international relations through a distinctly Christian lens;\u003cbr\u003edemonstrates how the Christian worldview can positively shape international politics;\u003cbr\u003eequips students to thoughtfully engage with pluralism and multiculturalism in international politics; and\u003cbr\u003emoves beyond discussions of biblical justice within states toward discussions of biblical justice between and among states.\u003cbr\u003eChrist and Covenant in Global Politics is a first-of-its-kind work that provides a comprehensive introduction to the state of international relations theory today as well as a constructive account of a truly Christian vision for global politics. Joustra provides a systematic treatment of introductory political theology of world politics, then applies that foundation to key issues in the international system: diplomacy, war, political economy, and climate. Ideal for the undergraduate level, this book is a gift to those who to want to learn to love their neighbor on the global stage.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51905833468191,"sku":"9781514007860","price":44.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/christ-and-covenant-in-global-politics-a-christian-introduction-to-international-relations-674263","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
