Political Agape: Christian Love and Liberal Democracy

Political Agape: Christian Love and Liberal Democracy. Available now at Christian Bible Service.

What is the place of Christian love in a pluralistic society dedicated to liberty and justice for all? What would it mean to take both Jesus Christ and Abraham Lincoln seriously and attempt to translate love of God and neighbour into every quarter of life, including law and politics? Timothy Jackson here argues that agapic love of God and neighbour is the perilously neglected civil virtue of our time and that it must be considered even before justice and liberty in structuring political principles and policies. Jackson then explores what political agape might look like when applied to such issues as the death penalty, same-sex marriage, and adoption.
