Abstract

This is a revised version of an essay posted a few months back in which I discuss John Rawls's religious commitments as they developed over the course of his life and how attending to those commitments can inform and deepen our understanding of, and ability critically to evaluate, his political philosophy.

Keywords: Rawls, Religion, Liberalism, Right, Relations, Institutions, Justice
