The essays in "Theological Tractates" were published between 1925
and 1937, during which time Erik Peterson converted from
Protestantism to Roman Catholicism. They deal with a range of
theological topics--from the thought of Protestant theologian Karl
Barth, to liturgy, the Church in the New Testament, Christianity
and Judaism, angels, martyrdom, and mysticism. Among them is
Peterson's landmark essay on ancient "political theology,"
"Monotheism as a Political Problem," which shows how ancient
writers--pagans, Jews, and Christians--justified earthly monarchy
by its parallel with the monotheistic belief in one divinity in
heaven. Peterson asserted that such a political theology was
incompatible with Christianity, a thesis that became a reference
point for modern political theology.
