In commemoration of Constantine's grant of freedom of religion to
Christians, this wide-ranging volume examines the ambiguous legacy
of this emperor in relation to the present world, discussing the
perennial challenges of relations between religions and
governments. The authors examine the new global ecumenical movement
inspired by Pentecostals, the role of religion in the Irish Easter
rebellion against the British, and the relation between religious
freedom and government in the United States. Other essays debate
the relation of Islam to the violence in Nigeria, the place of the
family in church-state relations in the Philippines, the role of
confessional identity in the political struggles in the Balkans,
and the construction of Slavophile identity in nineteenth-century
Russian Orthodox political theology. The volume also investigates
the contrast between written constitutions and actual practice in
the relations between governments and religions in Australia,
Indonesia, and Egypt. The case studies and surveys illuminate both
specific contexts and also widespread currents in religion-state
relations across the world.
