Reviving the ancient political wisdom of St. Augustine in
combination with insights drawn from contemporary political
theorist John Rawls, Joseph Rivera grapples with the polarizing
nature of religion in the public square. Political theology, as a
discipline, tends to argue that communitarianism remains the only
viable political option for religious practitioners in a complex,
pluralist society. Unsurprisingly, we are increasingly accustomed
to think the religious voice is anti-secular and illiberal. On the
contrary, Christian theology and political liberalism, Rivera
argues, are not incompatible. Political Theology and Pluralism
challenges the longstanding antithesis between theology and
political liberalism by asking his readers to focus not on
difference, but on our common humanity. Outlining real strategies
for public dialogue in a liberal state, Rivera offers the
opportunity to discover what it means to practice civic friendship
in pluralist context.
