The Christian Left Anthony A. J. Williams Christianity is often assumed to be pro-capitalist and socially conservative – in short, necessarily aligned with the political Right.

America's Great-Power Opportunity Ali Wyne It has become axiomatic to contend that U.S. foreign policy must adapt to an era of renewed “great-power competition.” The United States went on a quarter-century strategic detour after the Cold War, the argument goes, basking in triumphalism and getting bogged down in...
