This volume is the third in the "Perspectives from The Review of
Politics" series, following The Crisis of Modern Times, edited by
A. James McAdams (2007), and War, Peace, and International
Political Realism, edited by Keir Lieber (2009). In A Liberalism
Safe for Catholicism?, editors Daniel Philpott and Ryan Anderson
chronicle the relationship between the Catholic Church and American
liberalism as told through twenty-seven essays selected from the
history of the Review of Politics, dating back to the journal's
founding in 1939. The primary subject addressed in these essays is
the development of a Catholic political liberalism in response to
the democratic environment of nineteenth- and twentieth-century
America. Works by Jacques Maritain, Heinrich Rommen, and Yves R.
Simon forge the case for the compatibility of Catholicism and
American liberal institutions, including the civic right of
religious freedom. The conversation continues through recent
decades, when a number of Catholic philosophers called into
question the partnership between Christianity and American
liberalism and were debated by others who rejoined with a strenuous
defense of the partnership. The book also covers a wide range of
other topics, including democracy, free market economics, the
common good, human rights, international politics, and the thought
of John Henry Newman, John Courtney Murray, and Alasdair MacIntyre,
as well as some of the most prominent Catholic thinkers of the last
century, among them John Finnis, Michael Novak, and William T.
Cavanaugh. This book will be of special interest to students and
scholars of political science, journalists and policymakers, church
leaders, and everyday Catholics trying to make sense of
Christianity in modern society. Contributors: Daniel Philpott, Ryan
