Product Overview
What happened to civility in public discourse? While civility has long been a factor of Christianity and even in American politics, more recently it seems that our society and many of its leaders sufferfrom an appalling lack of it. When everyone is screaming at each other it becomes difficult to conceive of a different, better way of thinking about politics and public debate. This three-session, adult study by James Calvin Davis considers ways to think about political discussion between people who disagree in light of the four virtues of civility and the principles of civility found in Christianity. Session three of the study provides guidelines and applications for practicing civility.
For an extended study of these and other issues related to civility, see James Calvin Davis' book, In Defense of Civility: How Religion Can Unite America on Seven Moral Issues that Divide Us.
