This book argues that despite the tensions existing in all societies between religious faith and legal order, they inevitably interact. In the course of his discussion Berman traces the history of Western law, exposes the fallacies of law theories that fail to take religion into account, examines key theological, prophetic, and educational themes, and looks at the role of religion in the Soviet and post-Soviet state.

Our common belonging to Christ through baptism creates a bond that transcends the historic and theological differences among the churches; and the mutual recognition of baptism has emerged as a cornerstone of the modern ecumenical movement. Yet significant differences--some threatening the search for the unity of the Church--remain. This book explores the significance of baptism for the churches, and the ecumenical movement, today. Descriptive articles explain the understanding and practice of baptism within a wide range of Christian churches and confessions; these are complemented by baptismal liturgies from many churches, examples of mutual recognition agreements, and reflections on topics such as the role of baptism in increasingly secularized societies. The volume is enhanced by survey articles by prominent liturgists, reviewing the current opportunities--and challenges--facing the churches in the area of baptism. This book will be an important resource for all who wish to explore the understanding and practice of baptism, and its role in the life of the churches and of the ecumenical movement today.

This book challenges the argument that the United States is a Christian nation, and that the American founding and the American Constitution can be linked to a Christian understanding of the state and society. Vincent Rougeau argues that the United States has become an economic empire of consumer citizens, led by elites who seek to secure American political and economic dominance around the world. Freedom and democracy for the oppressed are the public themes put forward to justify this dominance, but the driving force behind American hegemony is the need to sustain economic growth and maintain social peace in the United States. --from publisher description.

Join the conversation about America's RETURN TO ORDERAmerica is at a crossroads. Historically, we are a nation of fair, hard working achievers. But since the mid 1960's our country has experienced a gradual demise. Economically, we're bogged down in multi-trillion dollar deficits, economic crises and financial crashes. Politically, we're stuck in polarization and social strife that makes it hard to get anything done. Morally, we've hit rock bottom with the breakdown of our moral codes. Fueled by distrust and egoism we are at a point in our history where we lack faith in government, leaders, institutions, corporations, even fellow citizens.There's a growing sense of alarm, confusion and frustration at seeing our beloved nation, the greatest temporal power ever, spin out of control. That's why we have started a serious conversation about a RETURN TO ORDER. We need to study and discuss the deepest root causes of our crisis. We need to make changes that will improve our lives and save our nation. Please join the conversation.
