Democracy After Christendom

A Cascade book from Wipf and Stock, published in November 2025



"This book proposes that, in advancing the case for democratic revival, we face three problems. We do not know where democracy started.

Related to that, we do not know what it is. Consequently, we do not know where it is going."
