Are religion and public life really separate spheres of human
activity? Should they be? In this book, Robin W. Lovin criticizes
contemporary political and theological views that separate religion
from public life as though these areas were systematically opposed
and makes the case for a more integrated understanding of modern
society. Such an understanding can be underpinned by 'Christian
realism', which encourages responsible engagement with social and
political problems from a distinctive perspective. Drawing on the
work of Rawls, Galston, Niebuhr, and Bonhoeffer, Lovin argues that
the responsibilities of everyday life are a form of politics.
Political commitment is no longer confined to the sphere of law and
government, and a global ethics arises from the decisions of
individuals. This book will foster a better understanding of
contemporary political thought among theologians and will introduce
readers primarily interested in political thought to relevant
developments in recent theology.
