Book Description
The 1960 publication of We Hold These Truths marked a significant event in the history of modern American thought. Since that time, Sheed & Ward has kept the book in print and has published several studies of John Courtney Murray's life and work.

It is both praised and blamed for reconciling Catholic faith with the fundamental premises of American political life.
