Christianity And Political Philosophy by Frederick D. Wilhelmsen

A Thomist defense of how Christian doctrine and classical metaphysics supply the moral and philosophical foundations for political order, arguing that modern secular and liberal political theories err by severing politics from objective moral truths; it defends natural law, the common good, authority and subsidiarity, and maintains that legitimate political institutions must be ordered to human flourishing by recognizing moral ends and communal responsibilities rather than reducing politics to mere power or individual autonomy.
