Secularism, Catholicism, and the Future of Public Life

How can religion contribute to democracy in a secular age? What can the millennia-old Catholic tradition say to Church-state controversies in the United States and globally? This volume, sponsored by the inter-disciplinary Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies at the University of Southern California, is a dialogue between Douglas W. Kmiec, a leading scholar of American constitutional law and Catholic legal thought, and experts from a range of fields and countries.
