Being Christian Today - Hardcover
Mark A. Noll, Max L. Stackhouse, and George Weigel set the stage for an interdenominational conversation by exploring the current social-ethical situation in America from the evangelical Protestant, ecumenical Protestant, and Roman Catholic points of view.
Other contributors - Carl E. Braaten, Jean Bethke Elshtain, J. Bryan Hehir, Christa R. Klein, Michael Novak, and Glenn Tinder - tackle some of the most controversial questions involving religion and public life today, such as: the state of high and popular cultures; the meaning and boundaries of human freedom; abortion; war, peace, and the "new world order"; and poverty and economic development here and abroad.
Among the seventeen respondents to the major essays are Alberto R. Coll, Mary Ann Glendon, Russell Hittinger, John P. Langan, S.J., George Lindbeck, Paul E. Sigmund, and William H. Willimon. Richard John Neuhaus closes the conversation by exploring the question, Can atheists be good citizens?

From Library Journal:
This collection of 27 essays is the result of a dialog concerning the future of Christian social thought, the immediate occasion being the centenary of Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum. The essayists are Christian theologians, philosophers, and political theorists. Their subjects range from the future of Catholic social thought to the history of Protestant political reflection, from the responsibilities of freedom to the freedom of natural law. The recurring but unstated theme is a frantic search for an authoritative basis for Christian social thought and thus for Christian social action. These essays are intended for theologians and social and political theorists. They are uniformly thoughtful and logically composed but saturated with jargon and allusions to academic minutiae. Recommended for special collections only.
