Why do individuals and groups hold distinctive theological views? Why do these beliefs change? In what ways do theological interpretations influence concepts of spiritual and political justice? How and why do these concepts of justice affect policy preferences held by religious liberals and conservatives?Much has recently been written about the relationship between power, conservative politics, and evangelical religious groups, but very little attention has been paid to so-called progressive religious groups among Protestants, Catholics, and Jews and their relationship to political thought and action.This wide-ranging and interdisciplinary work, ideal for use in college courses on religion and social issues, explores the impact of theological interpretations about God, the individual, society, church, and government on attitudes toward procedural and distributive justice. Major issues revolve around civil liberties, sexual choice, gender equality, world peace, prison reform, and income distribution

POLITICAL JUSTICE AND RELIGIOUS VALUES
Political Justice and Religious Values explores the impact of theological interpretations of God, the individual, society, church, and government on attitudes toward procedural and distributive justice. Combining theories with evidence, the volume focuses on individual beliefs and national conditions that explain policy views about political justice. It blends information from diverse fields: political science, religion, sociology, psychology, and history. The approach clarifies ways that the U.S. context influences religious values and preferences for civil liberties, womens rights, and economic equality.
Charles F. Andrain is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at San Diego State University.

FOREWORD
This innovative series is for all readers interested in books that provide frameworks for making sense of the complexities of contemporary social life. Each of the books in this series uses a sociological lens to provide current critical and analytical perspectives on significant social issues, patterns and trends. The series consists of books that integrate the best ideas in sociological thought with an aim toward public education and engagement.
Political Justice and Religious Values provides an in-depth examination of the relationship between religion, cultural values and the contemporary politics of social justice. Many current books deal with the social issue of religion and politics. This book is unique in its emphasis on the socio-historical context whereby specific aspects of Christianity have become the basis for cultural ideals of social justice and related political activism. Using a comparative historical approach the author provides a compelling explanation for why and how specific religious values have become commonly accepted frames of reference in many political and legal arenas. This book will be of great interest to anyone who wishes to have a richer, more comprehensive understanding of contemporary wedge politics and the ways in which these political strategies reflect and reinforce religiously based ideals of social justice.
PREFACE
Stressing the links between religious values and political justice, this book explores the impact of theological interpretations about God, the individual, society, church, and government on attitudes toward procedural and distributive justice. Major issues revolve around civil liberties, sexual choice, gender equality, world peace, prison reform, and income distribution. In what ways do liberal exponents of the Social Gospel and New Thought as well as more conservative Christians interpret scriptural passages? How do they relate biblical standards of spiritual justice to their divergent concepts of political justice, which then influence specific policy positions? Answers to these questions focus on the political implications of religious beliefs, especially the conditions under which spiritual values gain political importance.
The book adopts an explicit comparative approach. compares the concepts of justice expressed by Jesus and Paul. The third and fourth chapters compare several Social Gospel advocates: Catholic Worker founder Dorothy Day, Rabbi Michael Lerner, and Protestants Walter Rauschenbusch, Jim Wallis, William Sloane Coffin, and John Shelby Spong. The fifth chapter examines those who influenced the New Thought movement, including Marys gospel, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Emma Curtis Hopkins. It compares Unity School of Christianity leaders Charles and Myrtle Fillmore with Religious Science founder Ernest Holmes. The book highlights not only the differences between the Social Gospel and New Thought but also their similarities.
stresses cross-national policy differences between the United States and Western Europe. Weaker religious values and institutions in Europe, particularly Scandinavia and the Netherlands, partly account for the more liberal programs for procedural and distributive justice adopted there.
