Drawing on political philosophy and theology, theory and practice, this essay collection tackles the complex questions arising from the interface of religion and public life. Includes critical analyses of theorists Rawls, Stout and Habermas, and discussion of key issues such as religious education and human rights. every contribution to this volume contains significant substance and the whole is carefully ordered to develop an expansive exploration with a discernable trajectory. This book could well emerge as a landmark, or at least a permanent signpost, on the way to a renewed public theology that will endure.
