What is the place of Christian love in a pluralistic society
dedicated to "liberty and justice for all"? What would it mean to
take both Jesus Christ and Abraham Lincoln seriously and attempt to
translate love of God and neighbor into every quarter of life,
including law and politics? Timothy Jackson addresses such
questions in Political Agape: Prophetic Christianity and Liberal
Democracy. Jackson argues that love of God and neighbor is the
perilously neglected civil virtue of our time and that it must be
considered even before justice in structuring political principles
and policies. To indicate the specific implications of civic
agapism, he looks at such issues as the death penalty, Christian
complicity in the Holocaust, the case for same-sex marriage, and
the morality of adoption. The book concludes with Jackson's
reflections on Martin Luther King Jr. as a Christian hero.
