Praise for the book
"One of the big stories of Western social thought is the discovery of civil society—the growing appreciation of the fact that to understand the relationship between the individual and the state, we have to understand the vast social ecosystem between the two poles. Jeanne Schindler's book breaks a second big story: in exploring this human rain forest, Catholic and Protestant thinkers are way ahead of the secular pack."
–J. Budziszewski, professor of government and philosophy, University of Texas, Austin
