This work covers disciplines of theology, political theory and philosophy, and poses acute questions about the basic moral foundations of liberal societies. The book focuses on the role that religious belief should play in argument about public policy in a pluralistic society and examines the potential political implications of Christian belief and the ways in which it may be deployed in political debate. The text also discusses the place of religious belief in the formation of policy and asks what issues in modern society might be the legitimate objects of a Christian social and political concern.
