This new volume examines the relationship between religion and
politics from a historical perspective. Contributors address
specific moments in which political governance intersects with
religious ideals in dramatic ways. These moments question the
relationship between religious sentiments and political solutions
and threaten to reorder the geopolitical landscape.
These essays discuss the tensions produced by secularism in an
Islamic culture, the influence of Catholic theology in workers'
political movements, and how Hinduism has been transformed by the
political process. Also featured are essays that emphasize how
civil religion coincides with constitutional order, and how the
drama of religious tolerance and legitimization of the power of
Christian hierarchy originated in the political power of the Roman
emperor.
This volume is an interdisciplinary effort from up-and-coming
and cutting-edge scholars. Contents include: "Something as Yet
Unfinished," Adam Stauffer; "Carl Schmitt, Leo Strauss, and the
