Rawls and Religion by Daniel A Dombrowski

Despite John Rawls's stature as the most influential political philosopher of the twentieth century, his thoughts on religion have not been sufficiently studied. While it is generally assumed that Rawls is more interested in topics other than the relationship between politics and religion, author Daniel A. Dombrowski argues in this book that this assumption is incorrect. He shows that Rawls is interested in the relationship between politics and religion and that the relationship between the two is at the core of the problem that liberalism has for centuries meant to solve. Rawls and Religion utilizes Rawls's thought to examine, among other controversial issues, abortion, the phenomenon of fundamentalism as a growth industry, and the perceived decline of secular culture.

Daniel A. Dombrowski is Professor of Philosophy at Seattle University. He is the author of several books including Kazantzakis and God, also published by SUNY Press, and with Robert Deltete, A Brief, Liberal, Catholic Defense of Abortion.
