Justus D. Doenecke’s book More Precious than Peace: A New History of America in World War I covers diplomatic, military, and ideological aspects of U.S. involvement as a full-scale participant in World War I.
In his newest book You Are Gods: On Nature and Supernature, David Bentley Hart offers an intense and thorough reflection upon the issue of the supernatural in Christian theology and doctrine.
God: Eight Enduring Questions by C. Stephan Layman explores a wide range of philosophical issues in their connection with theism, including views of free will, ethical theories, theories of mind, naturalism, and karma-plus-reincarnation.
Future Peace: Technology, Aggression, and the Rush to War by Robert H. Latiff urges extreme caution in the adoption of new weapons technology and is an impassioned plea for peace from an individual who spent decades preparing for war.
Winners in each genre, including Editor’s Choice Prize winners and Foreword’s Independent Publisher of the Year, will be announced June 15, 2023 on Foreword Review’s website, Facebook, and Twitter.
