"What role should religion play in shaping and implementing U.S.
foreign policy? The dominant attitude over the last half century on
the subject of religion and international relations was expressed
well by Dean Acheson, Harry Truman's secretary of state: ""Moral
Talk was fine preaching for the Final Day of Judgment, but it was
not a view I would entertain as a public servant."" Was Acheson
right? How a nation ""commits itself to freedom"" has long been at
the heart of debates about foreign aid, economic sanctions, and
military intervention. Moral and faith traditions have much to say
about what is required to achieve this end. And after September 11,
no one can doubt the importance of religious beliefs in influencing
relations among peoples and nations. The contributors to this
volume come at the issue from very different perspectives and offer
exceptional and unexpected insights on a question now at the
forefront of American foreign policy. "
