Pluralisms and Horizons: An Essay in Christian Public Philosophy

by Richard J. Mouw, Sander Griffioen

How should Christians respond to pluralism in public life?

Christians have often clashed with the pluralism that characterizes life in modern America. In this classic essay in political philosophy, Richard J. Mouw and Sander Griffioen show how Christians can engage with pluralism productively. Thoroughly engaging with leading voices in the debate, Mouw and Griffioen wrestle with pluralism and its consequences for Christian public life. Ultimately, the authors endorse cooperation and tolerance, without sliding into moral relativism. Christian readers will find their carefully reasoned argument a compelling solution toward promoting the common good.
