pdf Healer of the Nations: Biblical Principles for International Relations مجانا للكاتب غاري نورث
Yes, I know. This book is too long. It sticks out like a fat, sore thumb on the shelf of Biblical Blueprints books. When I first decided to include a book on international rela-tions in the Biblical Blueprints Series, I knew that it would be the most difficult book to write in the series. There is virtually no body of material on Christian international relations and foreign policy, and what little that does parade as Christian is simply warmed-over humanism, and intellectually lightweight human- ism at that. (Herbert Butterfield’s undated and deservedly forgot- ten book of the early 1950’s, Christianity, Diplonzay and War, is an example of such non-Christian “Christian” contributions.) Fur- thermore, there is no agreed-upon humanist conservative view of what foreign policy is expected to achieve, and just how national foreign policy is supposed to fit into the world of international re-lations. A few still favor the late Senator Robert Taft’s isolationist foreign policy; others favor active anti-Communism and military intervention abroad. Most conservatives call for the abolition of U.S. government non-military foreign aid (except possibly to Israel), but what about military aid? No agreement. Some believe that Franklin Roosevelt needlessly lured this nation into war, and did so unconstitutionally against the wishes of Congress and the voters; others (perhaps even the same people) believe that Lt. Col. Oliver North’s efforts to thwart Congress and take a stand against international Communism were right on target.
