- Summary:
- What is the role of religion in creating the rules of society? What should religion's role be? Religion in industrialized countries often appears as a private, personal matter while issues of social justice are worked out in a secular public sphere. But increasingly both policymakers and religious leaders are becoming aware of the role religious values play at the local, national, and international levels. Religion and Social Policy explores how religious concerns influence those who shape and those who are shaped by policies.
