Just Governance: Essays on the Ethics of Governance in Islam and Christianity

In an age when amoral pragmatism and a thirst for power have shaken the foundations of public trust and social justice, we are in greater need than ever of a return to the wellsprings of divine wisdom. Is governance merely the art of managing power and struggling over interests, or is it a divine trust and a grave responsibility that must be protected by precise ethical standards? Just Governance: Essays on the Ethics of Governance in Islam and Christianity is a collaborative endeavor and the result of a profound joint reflection among a group of distinguished Muslim and Christian researchers. The authors of this collection have come together with the foundational belief that the path to realizing a just society passes through the revival of ethical foundations in the sphere of governance.
