What is the role of religion in creating the rules of society? What
should religion's role be? Religion in industrialized countries
often appears as a private, personal matter while issues of social
justice are worked out in a secular public sphere. But increasingly
both policymakers and religious leaders are becoming aware of the
role religious values play at the local, national and international
levels. Religion and Social Policy explores how religious concerns
influence those who shape and those who are shaped by policies. It
queries the social teachings of global denominations and local
congregations, as well as the implicit religious stances taken by
national governments and international NGOs. Broad issues such as
religious tolerance, globalization, multiculturalism, gender roles
and economic inequality are carefully grounded with practical
examples. For students of religion, sociology, politics or public
policy, Religion and Social Policy offers an excellent overview of
how the sacred and the secular mix in both the theory and practice
of creating a just society. Visit the editor's web page
