This

a

If public theology is a difficult task, it is even more daunting when directly engaging some of the most intractable dilemmas in international affairs such as torture, the 'war on terror,' human rights and humanitarian intervention. Esther D. Reed has taken up this challenge and written a tightly reasoned, theologically sophisticated, and politically savvy volume that respectfully acknowledges the ambiguous but neccessary realities of law, national interest and the use of lethal force without sacrificing central gospel commitments such as care for the poor and love of the 'other'.
Esther Reed's book, unusually lucid in a field where obscurity is often used to stake a claim to authority, should be read by all those who want a powerful, well-informed and essentially optimistic Christian voice discussing such deeply perplexing challenges and developments of human self-ordering in the twenty-first century.
I heartily endorse this elegant, informative, and authoritative Christian theological account of international law.
Esther D. Reed'sTheology for International Lawspans the gap between the fundamental principles that make international law morally compelling and the contemporary issues that make it politically important. In the search for starting points for global ethics, international law is a neglected resource. It matters not only to legal specialists, but to business leaders, activists, and ordinary citizens. Esther D. Reed helps us to understand how law that works between nations begins and why it makes a difference for the future.
Scholars are rediscovering natural law in their search to answer the critics of international law. Esther D. Reed's book is a timely and invaluable contribution to this endeavor. She is the rare scholar who deeply understands both natural law and international law and the promise of both in supporting humanity's striving for peace and the common good.
Reed's book is a welcome addition to the growing literature on religion and international law. Much of this literature is focused on human rights, and Reed distinguishes her book by taking a Christian theological approach to the higher order question of public international law . it lays a solid foundation, and readers not well versed in international law will find the attention to context and background helpful.
