"Faith and Public Policy" turns the spotlight on the role of faith in the public square and the spiritual consequences of public policy making. The work brings together fourteen of America's most respected writers on the intersection of faith and public policy to discuss the changing roles of government, church, education and the family. Chapters by Michael Novak, James Q. Wilson, Alan Wolfe, John Dilulio, Eloise Anderson, Doug Kmiec and Jean Bethke Elshtain investigate issues including inner city programmes, the secularization of faith-based programmes, the impact of tax policy on the family, and the issue of school vouchers. Contributions by Steve Forbes and William E. Simon illustrate the deep personal faith that informs and fuels the public leadership of America's leading thinkers and political figures. Reader should find "Faith and Public Policy" a timely and vigorous conversation on the commingling of government and religion in America in a nation eager to rediscover a core of faith, eager to return to the Founding Generation's idea of a nation in covenant with God.
