Rosemary Reuther presented the Eugene M. Burke lecture on February 25, 2008: ‘American Empire and the War Against Evil’. UCTV has now made it available on YouTube.
(Yes, Jim, the medium of internet video ranges in content from the sublime to the banal. This is the case for the medium of the book, too.)
“In this Burke Lecture, Dr. Reuther examines how the idea that the US is an elect and messianic nation has encouraged abuses against the rights of others, both foreign and domestic.”
“Our enemies are all diabolic.”
- Rosemary Radford Reuther (with heavy sarcasm)
