Political Agape: Christian Love and Liberal Democracy (Emory University Studies in Law and Religion)

This is an important and extremely well written book that critically challenges and deepens prevailing assumptions in political and social theory. Jackson offers a fresh constructive theory rooted in theological ethics, articulated in a wide-angle vision that significantly honors and addresses contemporary secular thinking. Political Agape deserves a wide reading among politically sophisticated, ethically enlightened persons concerned about the state of democracy and democratic values in contemporary America.
