In the world’s most developed democracies, anxiety about the future of democracy is palpable. The tension between moral aspiration and moral despair has reached a point of crisis. Christian realism arose during a similar time of crisis, when Reinhold Niebuhr used the insights of the Christian tradition to interpret the clash between democracy and totalitarianism. Beginning with Robin Lovin’s account of Christian realism as a nuanced blend of theological, moral, and political realisms, The Future of Christian Realism addresses fundamental topics in theology, ethics, and politics. The contributors come from different traditions, span five continents, and together present a case for the continuing relevance of Christian realism. By paying close attention to many of the most pressing moral challenges facing societies today, the authors illustrate and evaluate the enduring relevance of Christian realism.

This picture normally hangs on the wall by the author's main desktop computer. It reminds him where one finds the most reliable source of information about the spiritual aspects of reality. It was painted years ago by Elsie Pace, the author's mother; she went to be with the Lord in 2014. This book is the first formal expression of the Classic Christian Realism perspective. This perspective begins with a definition of reality as complex with infinite aspects and consisting of both spiritual and material aspects which interact. The Classic Christian Realism perspective is developed by applying six basic principles to reality. In the future, the perspective of Classic Christian Realism may be refined and elaborated beyond the initial expression of it in this book.
