Description
In "The Clash of Orthodoxies: Law, Religion, and Morality in Crisis", Robert George tackles the issues at the heart of the contemporary conflict of worldviews. Challenging liberalism's claim to represent the triumph of reason, George argues that traditional Judeo-Christian beliefs are rationally superior to secular liberal alternatives on controversial issues like abortion, euthanasia, same-sex unions, civil rights and liberties, and the place of religion in public life. This book is a profoundly important contribution to the national conversation about the proper role of religion in politics.
