Steven Douglas Smith (University of San Diego School of Law) has posted Christians and/as Liberals? (Notre Dame Law Review, Vol. 98 (forthcoming 2023)) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
Recently, as part of a more general examination and criticism of liberalism, the relation between Christianity and liberalism has been much discussed. Some critics, sometimes associated with the label “integralism,” argue that Christianity and liberalism are fundamentally incompatible. Examining both consistencies and inconsistencies, this article argues to the contrary that liberalism may be, for now, for us, in our historical circumstances, the alternative that prudent Christians should prefer.
Highly recommended.
