Description
Summary:Political scientist Robert P. Kraynak in his article 'The Christian Democracy of Glenn Tinder and Jacques Maritain' that Lutheran Glenn Tinder and philosopher Jacques Maritain express modern views of Christian teachings that amount to what he calls Kantian Christianity. This type of Christianity incorporates philosopher Immanuel Kant's theory of human dignity into Christian theology. Thus, Kraynak differs from a perception that virtually all churches and Christian theologians champion the notion of democracy.
