- Addresses an issue of major contemporary political significance
- Analyses the work of three of the key theorists in this field: John Rawls, Jeffrey Stout and Jürgen Habermas
- Moves between theory and practice to cogently illustrate ideas
- Expands the debate from the US into UK, European, Canadian and Australian contexts
- Explicitly engages with Christian, Jewish, Islamic, and secular ideologies
Must religious voices keep quiet in public places? Does fairness in a plural society require it? Must the expression of religious belief be so authoritarian as to threaten civil peace? Do we need translation into 'secular' language, or should we try to manage polyglot conversation? How neutral is 'secular' language? Is a religious argument necessarily unreasonable? What issues are specific to Islam within this exchange?
These are just some of the pressing questions addressed by Religious Voices in Public Places. Drawn from Australia, Canada, France, Ireland and England-as well as the United States-thirteen contributors
take the long-running discussion about religion in the public square beyond its usual American confines.
Religious Voices in Public Places comprehends both political philosophy and theology, and moves adeptly between political theory and practice. Whether offering critical analyses of key theorists such as John Rawls, Jeffrey Stout and Jürgen Habermas, or pursuing the issue of the public expression of religion into the debate about religious education in the USA, the legalisation of euthanasia in the UK, and human rights worldwide, this incisive volume speaks directly into crucial areas of religious and political complexity.Readership: Students and Scholars of religion in public life; of
theology and ethics; of political philosophy; of public policy; of political theory and practice. Policy Makers and general readers with strong interest in the place of religion in public life.

"chapters are worth their weight in gold... thoughtful and creative... Studies of religion are at their best when engaging in such inductive detail." - John Atherton, Church Times "every contribution to this volume contains significant substance and the whole is carefully ordered to develop an expansive exploration with a discernable trajectory. This book could well emerge as a landmark, or at least a permanent signpost, on the way to a renewed public theology that will endure." - Malcolm Brown, Religious Studies
