  damon linker : Not only does Obama follow Niebuhr’s teaching very closely, but in his public rhetoric he clearly strives to follow in the footsteps of Abraham Lincoln—the public figure Niebuhr singles out for having left behind a public meditation on American exceptionalism that lives on to teach us by example. ...

  God's Politics Blog — Authority: 659
  What if? What if Obama’s speech had not simply referenced Gandhi and King but followed them in following the way of Jesus? I have a number of friends, like Nobel Prize nominee John Dear and Ken Butigan, who have articulately raised concerns about…

  The New Republic - damon linker Feed — Authority: 99
  Neocons have begun to warm to Barack Obama’s foreign policy vision . What they’ve liked about his recent speeches (at West Point, but far more so in Oslo) is his willingness to defend (against the anti-political pacifism that dominates a segment of elite European opinion) the idea that there can be morally ...

  The New Republic - The Plank Feed — Authority: 140
  In the wake of Barack Obama’s speech in Oslo, there has been much talk – some of it based on intellectual hearsay --  about the influence that theologian Reinhold Niebuhr had on Obama.  Niebuhr is enjoying a revival; and rightly so – not just for his views of foreign policy, but for his understanding of a ...

  ““There are no simple congruities in life or history. The cult of happiness erroneously assumes them.

But all such strategies cannot finally ...
