"David Novak takes issue with the view - held by the late philosopher John Rawls and his followers - that citizens of a liberal state must, in effect, check their religion at the door when discussing politics in a public forum. Novak argues that in a liberal democratic state, members of faith-based communities - such as tradition-minded Jews and Christians - ought to be able to adhere to the broad political framework wholly in terms of their own religious tradition and convictions, and without setting their religion aside in the public sphere."--BOOK JACKET.
