John Courtney Murray and the American Civil Conversation

Looking at Jesuit scholar John Courtney Murray from a variety of philosophical and confessional perspectives, these essays examine Murray's thought and its reemerging relevance to the religious and moral dimensions of American public life. "These essays . . . are major contributions to the ongoing debate about religion in American life and the cultural foundations of the American democratic experiment".--Mary Ann Glendon, Harvard Law School.
