In an age of declining religiosity and rising nationalism, how can we form strong social bonds without racism, demagoguery, and xenophobia? In Solidarity in a Secular Age, Charles H. T. Lesch responds to this question by narrating an untold story of European political theology and spotlighting a neglected strand of modern Jewish philosophy to propose a new theory of liberal-democratic solidarity. Radically revising political theory's relationship to religion, he challenges us to rethink and rebuild our social bond.
