In Pursuit of Justice

This is a series of eight essays on diverse public policy concerns that asks the questions: What does racial justice or environmental protection or family policy look like when approached from a Christian-democratic perspective? And what about the civil-society questions of welfare education and political participation? The author James W. Skillen argues that the roots of a Christian-democratic approach are neither liberal nor conservative but pluralistic opening the way to a healthy regard for both social complexity and government's responsibility to uphold political community.
