Faith, Fallibility, and the Virtue of Anxiety: An Essay in Religion and Political Liberalism - Softcover
Synopsis
"The relationship between religion and liberal-democratic society has emerged as one of the defining issues of the twenty-first century. Drawing together insights from political philosophy and theory, philosophy of religion, theology, epistemology, and metaphysics, Derek Malone-France argues for a fundamental reorientation of religious conceptions of faith and reframes the debate regarding what role, if any, religious justifications should play in public discourse and the law. Through an innovative re-reading of the existentialist notion of 'anxiety', Malone-France develops a 'fallibilist' warrant for classic liberal norms of tolerance, non-coercion, and individual freedom, disclosing "the religious logic of liberal autonomy.""--

Review
"Faith, Fallibility, and the Virtue of Anxiety is at once insightful, provocative, timely, and interesting. Malone-France is skilled at weaving theological and political themes into a single narrative that makes for an interesting reading. Good books open new horizons and this one is no exception." - Brian G. Henning, Gonzaga University
