Pragmatism, religion, and John Foster Dulles’s embrace of Christian internationalism in the 1930s

Sewell, Bevan

Abstract

This article focuses on John Foster Dulles's engagement with religion and the role it played in his worldview. In doing so, it argues that his embrace of Christian internationalism should be seen as a part of an intellectual progression shaped by Pragmatist working methods rather than a spiritual reawakening.
