Obligations of citizenship and demands of faith
Offers an exploration of the place of religion in contemporary public life. The essays in this volume suggest that two different shifts have altered the balance between the competing obligations of citizenship and faith: the growth of religious pluralism and the calls of religious groups for some measure of autonomy from democratic majorities.
