Lee draws his perspective based on the teachings of theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr. The author uses the knowledge of these teachings to express how one can go about using this information as an approach to peace.

“The major purpose of this research is to examine Christian realism as articulated by Reinhold Niebuhr and to see whether this approach can shed any light on world politics especially in a nuclear age,” states the author. “War and peace especially in a nuclear age has been one of my major concerns which I have devoted my time and energy throughout my academic career.”

John Hoyoung Lee is the former professor of church history at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia and emeritus professor of economics and political science at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
