This exciting volume pioneers the study of the complex relationship
between religion and deliberative democracy, a practice that places
importance on the need for citizens to come together to identify
shared concerns and issues, work through choices and options for
action, weigh consequences and trade-offs, and possibly take
collective action to influence decisions and policies. Chapters use
case studies to demonstrate instances where deliberative democracy
has advanced the positive role of religion and where religious
practices have advanced the role of deliberative democracy. The
authors look at the actions of various denominations of
Christianity in Africa, the United States of America, and the South
Pacific, as well as examining how such groups operate within the
context of indigenous religions such as African Traditional
Religion. This volume also explores instances where the absence of
deliberative practices in religion has curtailed the ability of
people to realise their full potential, and the ability of
religious groups to act decisively for the common good to influence
the politics of the times. Combining innovative research with case
studies and practical implications and recommendations for
religious leaders, academics, policy makers, and practitioners,
this concise and easily accessible volume instructs on how
religious and democratic institutions can symbiotically address
community and national challenges.
