Produktinformationen zu „The Nexus of Governmental Integrity and the Survivability of American Constitutional Democracy / Religion and Law Bd.4 (ePub)“
The American government is in a state of crisis--a crisis of integrity.
Law is not what holds nations together; rather, cultural values and prevailing social conditions sustain an undergirding belief in the legitimacy of law. Moral and religious consensus must come before a legal order.
This book discusses several cases of the erosion of credibility as examples--Gorbachev's failed attempt to modernize Russia, the deceptions of the Vietnam War, and the Iran-Contra arms scandal. Next comes a study of how civil religion and governmental integrity interplay. The final chapter is a well-documented historic overview and examination of the Supreme Court's challenging task of constitutionally defining religion, especially in cases of conscientious objections and religious exemptions to state mandates.
The issues are timely, and Gatgounis is uniquely qualified to examine them as both a constitutional lawyer and religious scholar.
