WASHINGTON, Sept. 25, 2018 /Standard Newswire/ -- The latest issue of Providence: A Journal of Christianity & American Foreign Policy responds to growing despair about democracy's future.

Speaking as Christians in defense of democracy, from an Augustinian perspective, are Paul Miller of Georgetown University, Jennifer Marshall of Heritage Foundation, and Jonathan Leeman of 9 Marks. Mark Tooley, president of the Institute on Religion and Democracy, will moderate.

IRD President Mark Tooley commented:
"There is growing skepticism and despair about liberal democracy among American Christian elites. Books like Patrick Deneen's Why Liberalism Failed and Rod Dreher’s Benedict Option suggest democracy, from a Christian perspective, is collapsing or was always doomed. Our Providence panel and latest issue counter with an Augustinian defense of democracy. For all its limitations, it offers the best possibility for human dignity in a fallen world. Instead of disparaging democracy, Christians should instead patiently labor for its renewal."
