And yet, as religious identity recedes from American public life, the opposite appears to be the case. Our post-religious politics are growing more polarized, anxious, and unstable each day. Could a return to ancient religious wisdom and community be the key to healing what secular politics can't fix?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Can Religion Save Democracy? two friends and colleagues--a Christian theologian and a Muslim political scientist--make a bold case: If American democracy is going to survive, it will require more religion, not less. Drawing on wisdom from their respective religious traditions, they explore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- why secularism has only deepened our divides,\u003cbr\u003e- what ancient insights from Christianity and Islam can strengthen our common life,\u003cbr\u003e- how spiritual practices contribute critical virtues to democratic life, and\u003cbr\u003e- how citizens can navigate a new world of deep polarization and mistrust.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is not a call for theocracy or religious authoritarianism. It's a hopeful, clear-eyed vision showing how religious faith offers vital tools to renew the soul of democracy in a divided nation.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52646158467359,"sku":"9781587436895","price":39.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/can-religion-save-democracy-how-more-faith-not-less-can-heal-our-public-life","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
