"One needn't be a fan of liberal theory to value this superb
collection of writings from The Review of Politics. Editors Daniel
Philpott and Ryan T. Anderson have created a resource of enduring
importance; a compendium of the best defenders and critics of the
liberal state's compatibility with Catholic faith and life. It is
vital reading for anyone interested in the future of the Church in
American culture." —Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of
Philadelphia
“The pages of the Review of Politics since its founding in 1939 can
be read as a chronicle of this partnership between the Catholic
Church and liberal institutions—its development, its heyday, its
encounter of travails, its ongoing virtues, and its persistent
flaws. Indeed, the partnership has been fraught with controversy
over its true extent, its robustness, and its desirability.” —from
the introduction, A Liberalism Safe for Catholicism?
"An important contribution to twenty-first-century debates and a
reminder that, for more than seven decades, The Review of Politics
has been one of the English-speaking world's premier journals of
political theory." —George Weigel, Distinguished Senior Fellow and
William E. Simon Chair in Catholic Studies, Ethics and Public
Policy Center
"Over the decades, the Review of Politics has published some of the
finest scholarly work on Catholicism’s engagement with liberalism,
democracy, and human rights. Daniel Philpott and Ryan T. Anderson
have selected “the best of the best” of these writings to include
in their volume A Liberalism Safe for Catholicism. The book is a
virtual graduate seminar on a subject that has increased in
interest and importance as time has gone on—and promises to
continue increasing as the Catholic Church, which was once deeply
suspicious of liberalism, democracy, and human rights, has become
their greatest defender against those who claim their mantle but
who consistently undermine them in both theory and practice."
—Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Princeton
