Many democratic citizens, including many Christians, think that
separation of religion from the state means the exclusion of
religious beliefs from the political process. That view is
mistaken. Both democracy and Christian faith, this 2004 book shows,
call all Christians to make their beliefs effective in politics.
But the discussion here differs from others. Most have trouble
relating religion to democratic discussion and debate because they
assume that religious differences cannot be publicly debated.
Against this majority view, this book argues that Christian faith
belongs in politics because it shares with democracy a full
commitment to rational pursuit of the truth. The book then develops
ideals of justice and the common good Christians should advocate
within the democratic process and shows the difference they make
for contemporary politics in the United States, focusing
specifically on issues of abortion, affirmative action, and
economic distribution.
