Abstract

Abstract The U.S. involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq requires that Christians play a larger role in the debate over American power, particularly empire-building. The Apostle Paul provides a biblical example of how American Christians should treat their citizenship in the age of an empire. Furthermore, within Christian tradition there are three schools of thought that can guide Christian debate on U.S. foreign policy: pacifists, realpolitik, and just war. The just war tradition lends itself best to open debate and current events. Christians should and can contribute as America reconciles itself to its neo-imperial influence.
