Commonly perceived as a direct threat to the practice of liberal
democracy, the global reemergence of theocratic claims to political
rule is a misunderstood development of twenty-first-century
politics. Analyzing the relationship between religion and politics
throughout the Middle East, Africa, and the United States, as well
as classical and medieval political philosophical sources,
Challenging Theocracy critiques the contemporary formation of
theocracy. Providing an account of the origins and influence of
theocracy, the chapters in this volume explore ancient texts that
articulate the theocratic political ideas that continue to bubble
under the surface of political life today. In an effort to consider
how regimes extend beyond their immediate institutional and legal
forms and find their foundation in timeless ideas, the contributors
examine ancient and modern political thought to better understand
their persistent power and impact on global politics.
