Anyone who believes that democratic freedom and Christian morality are necessarily opposed to one another should find Professor Jan Klos’ book of great interest. Beginning with a careful study of 19th century liberalism, Klos shows how liberalism—understood as political freedom, individualism, and progress—is unable to maintain itself without the underpinning of a culture’s vigorous commitment to a Christian understanding of man and the morality which flows from it. But if a healthy politics needs the Church, the Church in some respects stands just as much in need of politics. To these twin tasks of assimilation and preservation Professor Klos’ work is devoted.
