Faith in politics : religion and liberal democracy / Bryan T. McGraw Cambridge, UK : Cambridge University Press, 2010 ix, 320 p. ; 23 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index Europe’s religious parties and the liberal consensus -- The argument for deliberative restraint -- The problem with secular reasons -- Public reason and religious conflict -- Religion and the problem of political autonomy -- Making the most of conflict: religion and political toleration -- Conclusion : toward a better sort of liberal democracy "No account of contemporary politics can ignore religion. The liberal democratic tradition in political thought has long treated religion with some suspicion, regarding it as a source of division and instability. Faith in Politics shows how such arguments are unpersuasive and dependent on questionable empirical claims: rather than being a serious threat to democracies’ legitimacy, stability and freedom, religion can be democratically constructive. Using historical cases of important religious political movements to add empirical weight, Bryan McGraw suggests that religion will remain a significant political force for the foreseeable future and that pluralist democracies would do well to welcome rather than marginalize it"-- Provided by publisher Christianity and politics Liberalism 0 0 0 0 20000 20000 2019-09-04 268.49 0 BR115.P7 G73 2010 0000064717 2019-09-04 00:00:00 1 268.49 2019-09-04 OPEN VIRTUA40 56828 56834 VTLSSORT0080*0200*0201*0202*0203*0400*0900*1000*2450*2600*3000*5040*5050*5200*6500*6501*9991
