Beliefs, Values and Policies: Conviction Politics in a Secular Age

By Duncan B. Forrester

Reexamining the basis, content, and manner of theology's contribution to contemporary society, this rigorous study argues that Christian theology is particularly significant to debates about public policy in a plural and secular age. Forrester contends that where there is no longer a consensus about goals, or a shared public philosophy, there is then a special responsibility left to theology to present its distinctive insights into the human condition.
