Liberalism forms the dominant political ideology of the modern
world, but despite its pervasive influence, this is the first
book-length treatment of liberal political thought from a Christian
theological perspective. Song discusses the different aspects and
interpretations of liberalism with reference to the critiques of
three twentieth-century theologians: the American Protestant
Reinhold Niebuhr on the liberal progressivist philosophy of
history; the lesser-known Canadian George Grant on the threat of
technology to fundamental liberal values, as articulated in the
recent work of John Rawls; and the French Thomist Jacques Maritain
on the defence of political pluralism. Further to this, Song
explores the implications of this political theology for the issues
in fundamental constitutional theory raised by a bill of rights and
judicial review of legislation, and concludes with an account of
the critical but supportive stance of liberalism Christian theology
should take.
