David Novak takes issue with the view--held by the late philosopher John Rawls and his followers--that citizens of a liberal state must, in effect, check their religion at the door when discussing politics in a public forum. Novak argues that in a "liberal democratic state, members of faith-based communities--such as tradition-minded Jews and Christians--ought to be able to adhere to the broad political framework wholly in terms of their own religious tradition and convictions, and without setting their religion aside in the public sphere. Novak shows how social contracts emerged, rooted in biblical notions of covenant, and how they developed in the rabbinic, medieval, and "modern periods. He offers suggestions as to how Jews today can best negotiate the modern social contract while calling upon non-Jewish allies to aid them in the process. The Jewish Social Contract will prove an enlightening and innovative contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of religion in liberal democracies. 410 0$aNew forum books. 606 $aJudaism and state 606 $aSocial contract$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aJudaism and politics 606 $aDemocracy$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aCovenants$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aSecularism$xPolitical aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJudaism and state. 615 0$aSocial contract$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aJudaism and politics. 615 0$aDemocracy$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aCovenants$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aSecularism$xPolitical aspects. 676 $a296.3/82 700 $aNovak$b David$f1941-$0904459 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455404903321 996 $aThe Jewish social contract$92473855 997 $aUNINA
