The Radical Christian Witness of Daniel Philpott’s Scholarship

Allen D. Hertzke

The Review of Faith & International Affairs, 2021, vol. 19, issue 4, 30-35

Abstract: A radical Christian witness underlies Daniel Philpott’s scholarship, a witness especially rooted in his Catholic vision and practice. Philpott’s work on religious freedom, human rights, and democracy is anchored in the Christian conception that all humans are stamped with the divine likeness and thus endowed with surpassing equal worth and dignity. His work on post-conflict reconciliation and peacemaking flows from the gospel mandate that followers of Christ must love sacrificially and forgive those who harm them, even enemies. Finally, his work on justice is inspired and guided by the biblical vision of comprehensive righteousness, of justice as restoration of right relations.
