In Pluralism and Freedom, Stephen Monsma explores the question: How much autonomy should faith-based organizations retain when they enter the public realm? He contends that pluralism and freedom demand their religious freedom be respected, but that freedom of all religious traditions and of the general public and secular groups be equally respected, ideals that neither the left nor the right live up to. With an all new Afterword and up-to-date insights into religious/political debates both old and new - from the morning after pill to the recent Supreme Court decision overturning the Defense of Marriage Act - this book provides both a history and a snapshot of an increasingly pluralistic America, and where our free and faithful nation goes from here.
