Conclusion. .Reviving the ancient political wisdom of St. Augustine in combination with insights drawn from contemporary political theorist John Rawls, Joseph Rivera grapples with the polarizing nature of religion in the public square. Political theology, as a discipline, tends to argue that communitarianism remains the only viable political option for religious practioners in a complex, pluralist society. Unsurprisingly, we are increasingly accustomed to think the religious voice is anti-secular and illiberal. On the contrary, Christian theology and political liberalism, Rivera argues, are not incompatible. Political Theology and Pluralism challenges the longstanding antithesis between theology and political liberalism by asking his readers to focus not on difference, but on our common humanity. Outlining real strategies for public dialogue in a liberal state, Rivera offers the opportunity to discover what it means to practice civic friendship in pluralist context.Palgrave pivot.Religion and sociologyPolitical philosophyReligion—PhilosophyPolitical theoryReligion and Societyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A8020Political Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E37000Philosophy of Religionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E33000Political Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010Religion and sociology.Political philosophy.Religion—Philosophy.Political theory.Religion and Society.Political Philosophy.Philosophy of Religion.Political Theory.201.7Rivera Josephauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut976807BOOK9910300621503321Political Theology and Pluralism2225303UNINA
