Beskrivning
The proper role of religious faith in the public life of a liberal democracy is one of the most important and controversial issues in the United States today. Since the publication in 1991 of his book Love and Power, Michael J. Perry's important writings on this issue have been among the most insightful. In this new book, Perry argues that political reliance on religious faith violates neither the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution nor, more broadly, the morality of liberal democracy. Nonetheless, Perry argues, religious believers sometimes have good reasons to be wary about relying on religious beliefs in making political decisions. Along the way, Perry thoughtfully addresses three subjects at the center of fierce contemporary political debate: school vouchers, same-sex marriage, and abortion.

'With this book, Michael Perry builds on his already secure reputation as one of our most astute, incisive, and level-headed theorists concerning the role of religion in the public square. As in all of Perry's work, what's impressive is the unusual blend of sophisticated theory and concrete examples. What is especially impressive about this particular collection is Perry's ability and willingness to think against the grain - even the grain of his own prior thought! I have learned a great deal, especially from the exemplary final chapter on 'Religion, Politics, and Abortion'.' Nicholas Wolterstorff, Noah Porter Professor of Philosophical Theology, Yale University
