The United States has led the world in almost every way since World
War I. In 1941, Life magazine publisher Henry Luce dubbed his
country's preponderant power "the American Century." His editorial
was a statement of fact but also an aspiration for countrymen to
unite in promotion of a world order friendly to American interests.
Faith and Foreign Affairs in the American Century examines the
nature of public involvement in American diplomacy. As a concept
decades in the making, the American Century was conceived by those
connected through the country's leading foreign policy think tank,
the Council on Foreign Relations. The missionary couple and
Washington insiders Francis and Helen Miller, who fought to make
the American empire a radically democratic one, figured prominently
in that work. The Millers' many partnerships embodied the conflicts
as well as the cooperation of Christianity and secularism in the
long reimagining of the United States as a global state. Mark
Thomas Edwards offers in this study a genealogy of the concept of
the American Century. Readers will encounter moments of Protestant
Christian power and marginalization in the making of modern
American foreign relations.
