Private Needs, Public Selves: Talk about Religion in America, Հատոր 10University of Illinois Press, 1997 - 262 էջ Polls through the '90s show that many Americans believe the nation is in a period of spiritual decline, yet public religious display and discussion often is deemed politically incorrect. Philosopher John K. Roth feels that more outward sharing of religious beliefs, thoughts, and ideas would bridge the gap between our private needs and our public selves--and would give Americans of differing faiths a common identity. |

Էջ xiv - The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficult}', and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.
Էջ xv - In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free — honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve.
