This book offers a systematic and detailed examination of the
conservative case for religion by establishment. In doing so, the
author demonstrates that the conservative political tradition is
rooted in an inescapably religious worldview, and in turn shows
what the future of conservatism might be. The author begins the
book by analysing the thought of prominent proponents of secular
conservatism, chiefly examining the work of Roger Scruton. The
author develops a case to show that Scruton's arguments on the
privatisation of religion are in tension with his basing of a
conservative political settlement on "transcendent bonds". The
author then examines alternatives to secular conservatism,
especially the chief religious and metaphysical commitments of
early conservatives, Edmund Burke and Joseph de Maistre. Finally,
in seeking to establish a foundational argument for religion by
establishment within the conservative tradition, and more broadly
to unify the diverse commitments and objections of conservatives,
the author develops a case that draws on Scruton's personalism, as
well as the thought of Martin Buber, Andrew Pinsent, and Robert
Spaemann. In the course of developing his foundational argument,
the author incorporates findings from experimental psychology and
themes from contemporary theology. The result is a convincing
argument in favour of establishmentarian conservatism, as well as
the role of religious ideas in our self-understanding as
individuals and as a political community. Conservatism and Grace
will appeal to scholars and advanced students interested in
political philosophy, philosophy of religion, theology, and the
history of conservatism.
