Currently, public religion is in a time of flux and the notion
of the common good--once associated with the Protestant voice in
America--is openly contested by new religious coalitions seeking to
communicate their version of the truth and plant their stake in the
public domain. This edited volume reflects on the changing tone and
form of the public voice of religion, on its function in American
society, and on its relationship to the private world of religion.
It proposes that public religion, when exercised in a civil and
accountable way, can be a responsible and prophetic voice in public
life and enrich the American experiment in liberal democracy. The
contributors--first-rate scholars including Martin Marty and Robert
Belah--focus on public religion's influence on controversial issues
such as multiculturalism, economic inequality, abortion, and
homosexuality.
