The Influence of Faith
Religious Groups & U.S. Foreign Policy
Edited by Elliot Abrams
Posted: Thursday, June 28, 2001
Realists have long argued that the international system must be based on hard calculations of power and interest. But in recent years, religion’s role on the international scene has grown. The Influence of Faith examines the American reaction to the persecution of Christians and Jews overseas, as well as the role of faith-based groups such as missionary and relief organizations in the formulation and implementation of U.S. policy. The Influence of Faith considers these timely issues from diverse points of view, offering broad historical analysis as well as concrete examples taken from current affairs.

No Basis
What the Studies Don't Tell Us About Same Sex Parenting
By Robert Lerner, Althea Nagai
Posted: Thursday, January 25, 2001
It is routinely asserted in courts, journals and the media that it makes “no difference” whether a child has a mother and father, two fathers, or two mothers. Reference is often made to social-scientific studies that are claimed to have “demonstrated” this.

Witness to Hope
The Biography of Pope John Paul II
By George Weigel
Posted: Friday, October 1, 1999
Witness To Hope: The Biography of Pope John Paul II by George Weigel is as comprehensive a biography of its subject as can be hoped for while the Pope still lives. Weigel, a journalist who came to the Pope's attention after the publication of his book, The Final Revolution: The Resistance Church and the Collapse of Communism, wrote Witness To Hope with his subject's encouragement and assistance. Weigel had unprecedented access to the Pope's correspondence (with, among others, world leaders including Mikhail Gorbachev). He reports lengthy conversations with many members of the Pope's inner circle, and he occasionally reveals vivid details of the Pope's daily life (for example, at the beginning of each day, the Pope's adviser's hear moans and groaning from John Paul's solitary prayers in his private chapel).

Honor Among Nations
Intangible Interests and Foreign Policy
Edited by Elliot Abrams
Posted: Wednesday, April 1, 1998
Can “intangible” interests such as national honor, morale, and reputation be deemed “vital”? Can they be considered an essential part of a policy that seeks to defend traditional security interests? Donald Kagan begins the discussion with a panoramic view of honor, interest, and the nation-state. William C. Wohlforth looks at Russia’s foreign policy since 1600 and its definition of national interests. Daniel J. Mahoney examines the foreign policy of De Gaulle’s France. And Karl Walling looks into how the early American statesmen—especially Alexander Hamilton—balanced interest and honor. Respondents are Peter W. Rodman, Charles H. Fairbanks, Jr., Francis Fukuyama, and Robert Kagan.
