Zusammenfassung:	"The debate over religious lawmaking pits respect for religious pluralism against moral identity. Liberal theorists contend that religious lawmaking is generally suspect in a morally and religiously diverse polity like the United States, while communitarian theorists argue that lawmakers cannot, and should not, be expected to suppress their religious commitments in their public policy making." "Looking carefully at both sides of this ongoing debate, Lucinda Peach explores the limitations as well as the value of these conflicting perspectives and proposes a solution for their reconciliation."--BOOK JACKET.
