I get e-mails of books available from Princeton, and though I'ld likely not buy, I find it interesting to read what they say about religion and society today.

Here's a link to this book, and it is sort of how Jewish (and Christian too) could look at combining their religious worldview with a public social world view. I hear so much about this separate church and state thing (even though we're Canadian, and I don't think we have as strict a law thing) and even in things like science, I have often felt that something was missing, that there was a lack of a co-ercion of a person if they had to check their religion at the door when it came to some of these things. This is a book that I would really like to read someday. I wondered if any of you have looked into this book or this idea.
