Book Summary
Four distinguished scholars here level a powerful critique of the rapid expansion of the emerging American empire and its oppressive and destructive political, military, and economic policies. Arguing that a global Pax Americana is internationally disastrous, the authors demonstrate how America's imperialism inevitably leads to rampant irreversible ecological devastation, expanding military force for imperialistic purposes, and a grossly inequitable distribution of goods?all leading to the diminished well-being of human communities. These four prophetic voices?three Christians, one Jew?persuasively indict the American empire as being diametrically opposed to divine values and powerful enough to threaten the purposes of God.
