Drawing on the political theology of Reinhold Niebuhr, described by Barack Obama as "one of my favourite philosophers", this book assesses the challenges facing the President during his first term. It evaluates his success in adhering to Niebuhr's path of "Christian realism" when faced with the pragmatic demands of domestic and foreign affairs.
