The New Orthodoxy: Canada’s Emerging “Civil Religion”
()
About this ebook
This book examines the founding non-sectarian
approach to Canadian statecraft that accommodated religious and cultural
diversity. The 1960’s promise of political liberalism embraced in Canada was to
provide a philosophy of government that facilitates the individual's vision and
pursuit of the good life. Decades later, the promotion of individual autonomy
and fraternity by governments and the courts threatens to undermine the very
freedom governments claim to promote and protect. Bruce J. Clemenger presents a
biblically-based model of public and political engagement and a defense of
religious freedom, especially the freedom to disagree, in an increasingly
secularist state. A timely work.
