In a major original study, Graham Maddox analyses the role of
religion in the development of democracy from the tribes of ancient
Israel to the present day. The book contrasts Athenian direct
democracy with the Old Testament monarchy in which the concept of
religious opposition - vital to modern democracy - arose. Maddox
then develops his discussion of the relationship between religion
and democracy through early christianity to the Reformation and
Calvinism, ending with a chapter on modern democracy. Maddox's
contentious thesis concerning the development of democracy is truly
interdisciplinary drawing on political science, religious history
and theology.
