N2  - How can a Christian determine what is ""right"" and ""wrong"" in politics? Is politics, by its nature, motivated by power and conflict? Must political action be judged solely by its consequence? Derek Jeffreys argues that Pope John Paul II's understanding of philosophy and politics uniquely qualifies him to offer a viable Christian alternative to the reigning political philosophy of realism and consequentialism. He prioritizes the dignity of the human person while calling the political tendency to systematically dominate others exactly what it is-structural sin. This timely and intriguing study will interest ethicists, political scientists, and anyone concerned about the Christian response to political dilemmas
