Politics, Religion, and the Common Good

Advancing a Distinctly American Conversation about Religion's Role in Our Shared Life

Beschreibung

In this insightful book, Marty covers a wealth of vital issues about the state of the politics and religion, including: the case often made against public religion; how public religion affects the common good; the ways in which the individual citizen is formed by faith; the declining political power of traditional institutions; the flourishing of religious special interest groups; and how to move questions of public religion from argument to conversation.
