Religious Conviction Liberal Politc

Religious Conviction Liberal Politc by Eberle, Christopher J.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521011556.

What role should a citizens religious convictions play in political activities? Christopher Eberle is deeply at odds with the dominant orthodoxy among political theorists about the relationship of religion to politics. His argument is that a citizen may responsibly base political commitments on religious beliefs, even if the only reasons for those political commitments are religious in nature. An inherently controversial book that offers a substantial challenge to political liberalism, it will be read by students of philosophy, political science, law and religious studies.
