The New Orthodoxy: Canada's Emerging "Civil Religion" (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781988928807)

This book examines the founding non-sectarian approach to Canadian statecraft that accommodated religious and cultural diversity. The 1960's promise of political liberalism embraced in Canada was to provide a philosophy of government that facilitates the individual's vision and pursuit of the good life. Decades later, the promotion of individual autonomy and fraternity by governments and the courts threatens to undermine the very freedom governments claim to promote and protect. Bruce J. Clemenger presents a biblically-based model of public and political engagement and a defense of religious freedom, especially the freedom to disagree, in an increasingly secularist state. A timely work.
