Abstract

[Public policymaking is, regrettably, often seen as exclusively political or social.2 The sometimes deeply religious and/or theological underpinnings of our basic attitudes concerning the nature of peoples and the kind of public policies we must respond with remains unacknowledged or unconscious. We are often unaware that moral landscapes are driving our public policy decisions and that this makes our public policy decision-making problematic at times. The other side of this coin is that there are times when we are very aware of the moral landscapes driving the creation of some of our public policies. It is equally regrettable that in these instances, a rather narrow and damning view of the individual, government, and society dominate.]
