Description

Christian Faith and Democracy is a book written by Gregory Vlastos that explores the relationship between Christianity and democracy. Vlastos examines the historical and philosophical roots of both Christianity and democracy, tracing their development and evolution over time. He argues that the two are not incompatible, but rather, that they can complement each other in meaningful ways.The book is divided into two parts. The first part explores the history of Christianity and democracy, tracing the roots of both back to ancient Greece and Rome. Vlastos examines the role of Christianity in the development of democracy in Europe, and the impact of democratic ideals on Christian theology.The second part of the book focuses on the philosophical and theological implications of the relationship between Christianity and democracy. Vlastos argues that democracy is compatible with Christian values such as love, compassion, and justice, and that the two can work together to promote human flourishing and social justice.Throughout the book, Vlastos draws on a wide range of sources, including the Bible, early Christian writings, and contemporary political philosophy. He offers a nuanced and thoughtful analysis of the relationship between Christianity and democracy, and provides insights into how the two can work together to create a more just and equitable society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
