A major theme of Niebuhr's Christianity and Power Politics was that such retreat was immoral, and that Christian realism provided the intellectual resources for coming to grip with the “isms” of the day (i.e., fascism and Communism) while serving as a starting point for thoughtful, real-world policies.

Explanation:
The relationship between Christianity and politics is a historically complex subject and a frequent source of disagreement throughout the history of Christianity, as well as in modern politics between the Christian right and Christian left. There have been a wide variety of ways in which thinkers have conceived of the relationship between Christianity and politics, with many arguing that Christianity directly supports a particular political ideology or philosophy. Along these lines, various thinkers have argued for Christian communism, Christian socialism, Christian anarchism, Christian libertarianism, or Christian democracy. Others believe that Christians should have little interest or participation in politics or government.
