Christians today often dismiss political ideas that are core to modern secular liberalism in a manner that leads them directly into the illiberal politics that has gained such force in the contemporary west. Rather than rejecting liberal politics outright, Joel Peirce offers a supple and conversation-opening call for Christian involvement in public discourse by showing us what core concepts like rights language are doing in our political discourse today. A wonderfully readable introduction to the political philosophy of Alisdair MacIntyre, who has so deeply influenced a whole generation of contemporary Christian modernity critics. -- Brian Brock, University of Aberdeen Is there an alliance between Christian fans of Alasdair MacIntyre and illiberal nationalism? Exactly twenty years ago, Jeffrey Stout warned of such a link if MacIntyre continued to be taught in American seminaries. Now, with populism on the rise, Joel Pierce delivers a careful answer. Pierce argues for a novel reading of Vitoria’s law of nations that follows in MacIntyre’s footsteps but displays greater global inclusion, dialogue, and humility. -- John Perry, University of St. Andrews, Scotland
