Wolterstorff, Nicholas.

Understanding liberal democracy : essays in political philosophy / Nicholas Wolterstorff ; edited by Terence Cuneo. - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2012. - xii, 385 p.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [377]-380) and index.

This work "collects the author's work at the intersection between political philosophy and religion. Alongside his influential earlier essays, it includes nine new essays in which Wolterstorff develops original lines of argument and stakes out novel positions regarding the nature of liberal democracy, human rights, and political authority. Taken together, these positions are an attractive alternative to the so-called public reason liberalism defended by thinkers such as John Rawls"--jacket.
