Senator Mark Hatfield envisions a new day for superpower relations
In light of the breathtaking changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, President Bush has called for a new era in which the superpowers move beyond a doctrine of containment. But to what?
Answering the President’s call for fresh approaches, Sen. Mark O. Hatfield has attempted to develop an evangelical answer to this question. On the following pages, he develops his strategy for injecting the biblical principle of reconciliation into the international arena.
Will the senator’s proposal work? We asked George Weigel, director of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and John Lawyer, professor of political science at Bethel College, to respond to Senator Hatfield’s essay. Kenneth S. Kantzer, dean of the Christianity Today Institute, concludes this supplement by raising some of the most important questions that George Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev will ever answer.
