Reviews

One of the most delightful attributes of the book is that the authors have read each other's chapters, a rare quality in a volume of collected essays that gives this one more philosophical continuity and internal coherence than one often finds in such books. The series is intended to help readers move past the glib, poorly informed generalities of much public conversation about religion and its connections to politics and public society....It certainly achieves its laudable aims.
