Many voices reply, \"No way!\" Yet in this provocative and timely book, Brendan Sweetman argues against this charge and the various sophisticated arguments that support it. As we witness the clash of religious and secular worldviews he claims that our pluralistic democratic society will be best served when the faith elements of secularism are acknowledged and the rational elements of religious arguments are allowed to inform the momentous debates taking place in the public square. In fact, Sweetman contends that \"politics needs religion if it is to be truly democratic, concerned with fairness among worldviews, equality and a vigorous public discussion.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brendan Sweetman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0830828427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780830828425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.01w x 0.71d","brand":"Brendan Sweetman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44149206155519,"sku":"9780830828425","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6523b7c9-ef56-4c30-8135-55ac415d7b63.jpg?v=1688455414","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-politics-needs-religion-brendan-sweetman-9780830828425","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
