Argues that a problematic shift occurred when Christian thinkers began to argue that their religion received its best political articulation in democracy. Calling on thinkers ranging from Augustine and Aquinas to twentieth-century theologians and political philosophers, it argues that Christian thought must recognize the limited scope of the political realm and maintain the proper critical distance.
