"Thomas M. Alexander’s deft introduction elegantly unfolds John Dewey’s A Common Faith for a new generation of readers seeking novel answers for the ancient questions of ultimate concern."—Jim Garrison, Virginia Tech"Professor Thomas Alexander's introduction to A Common Faith is an important reorientation of this book. Alexander makes a clear and convincing case for its centrality in Dewey's thought."—William T. Myers, Birmingham-Southern College"Alexander’s careful and imaginative introduction shows how Dewey both understood and respected human religious experience. Dewey’s insistence that core notions (e.g. religion, God) be recast reflects the still-urgent need of diverse and democratic citizenries to preserve religious freedom, aesthetic experience, and social justice."—David L. Hildebrand, University of Colorado, Denver
