In the past decade, the struggle for new forms of federal order and
public life has exploded in central Europe, the former Soviet
Union, and South Africa. Religious traditions and organizations
have played a crucial role in these revolutions, and have also been
critical to the establishment of constitutional orders in
post-colonial countries like India. Moreover, they continue to
undergird and to challenge the understanding of public life in the
United States, whether in church-state conflicts or Native American
religious claims. William Everett examines the role of religious
traditions in the development of modern federal republicanism,
seeking answers to such questions as: How have patterns of
religious organization shaped federal republican orders? How do
different cultures weave together these political and religious
threads into a living fabric that fits their own cultural heritage?
How are Western religious traditions of covenant and conciliarism
relevant for understanding religion and constitutional developments
in non-Western cultures? The author argues that a better
comparative grasp of these dynamics is essential to our
understanding of the establishment, sustenance, and development of
federal republican governance. He presents, as a first step toward
this goal, a detailed and comparative study of these patterns in
India, Germany, and the United States.
