Recenzii
“Kraynak skillfully dismantled the illusory neutrality of liberalism. The book serves as a welcome reminder that a robust social pluralism is incompatible with the totalizing and homogenizing force of the modern welfare state.” —The Intercolliagate Review, Fall 2002
“This is a masterful work and, at the very least, a necessary corrective to a contemporary Christian tendency to blindly endorse anything that can be labeled democratic. This book should be required reading for students (let alone teachers) of politics and is heartily recommended for the educated reading public.” —Markets & Morality, Vol. 6 No. 1
“In Christian Faith and Modern Democracy, Robert Kraynak offers a bold and at times controversial analysis of the relationship between the church and the modern democratic state. For many... the restatement of Augustine’s doctrine of the two cities... will at least encourage debate--and thought.” —Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, August 2003, Vol. XV No. 1/2
“[R]eadable and learned, often trenchant....” —ARC: The Journal of the Faculty of Religious Studies at McGill University, 2003
“... careful and broad-ranging scholarship, and, more significantly, ... clear and provocative argument about the relationship between Christianity and politics.” —Christian Scholar’s Review, Spring 2004, Vol. 33 No. 3
"Kraynak brings a much-needed sense of prudence and political sobriety to Christian political discourse. ...Kraynak has written an impressive book. Christian Faith and Modern Democracy raises a series of tough questions about the relationship of Christianity and liberal democracy that no one who thinks seriously about these matters can afford to ignore. Kraynak's book promises to play an essential role in this debate for the foreseeable future."—Modern Age, Vol. 46 No. 1 & 2, Winter Spring 2004

Descriere
This work challenges the commonly accepted view that Christianity is inherently compatible with modern democratic society. Contrary to conventional wisdom, it argues that there is no necessary connection between Christianity and any form of government.
