The Establishment Principle Defended

In this thought-provoking work of political philosophy, Balfour defends the principle of establishment as a necessary element of social order. Drawing on a wide range of sources from throughout the history of political thought, he argues that the state has a duty to promote a particular creed or religion for the sake of the common good. With clear and persuasive arguments, The Establishment Principle Defended is an essential text for anyone interested in the role of religion in politics.
