Social Conservatism for the Common Good

A Protestant Engagement with Robert P. George

About this book

Carl R. Trueman and Other ChristianĀ Evangelical Scholars Examine the Life and Work of Renowned Catholic, Social Conservative Thinker Robert P. George

Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, is one of the most influential conservative intellectuals of his generation. Among many honors and accolades, GeorgeĀ receivedĀ the US Presidential Citizens Medal from President George W. Bush and served as chairman of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). Though a Catholic himself, George's influence has transcended traditional religious categories to shapeĀ evangelical discourse on politics, ethics, and political philosophy throughout his career.Ā 

In this thorough introduction and careful analysis of George's work for Protestant audiences, editor Andrew T. Walker gathers essays from high profile evangelical writers and academicsā€”including Carl R. Trueman, Hunter Baker, Jennifer Marshall Patterson, and Scott Klusendorfā€”to explore subjects such as faith and reason, George's New Natural Law theory, and how to collaborate across ideological lines.Ā  Social Conservatism for the Common GoodĀ helps Christian evangelicals understand George's philosophy and apply it to their own cultural engagement and public witness.
