Whether America was founded as a Christian nation or as a secular republic is one of the most fiercely debated questions in American history. Historians Matthew Harris and Thomas Kidd offer an authoritative examination of the essential documents needed to understand this debate. The texts included in this volume - writings and speeches from both well-known and obscure early American thinkers - show that religion played a prominent yet fractious role in the era of the American Revolution.
In their personal beliefs, the Founders ranged from profound skeptics like Thomas Paine to traditional Christians like Patrick Henry. Nevertheless, most of the Founding Fathers rallied around certain crucial religious principles, including the idea that people were "created" equal, the belief that religious freedom required the disestablishment of state-backed denominations, the necessity of virtue in a republic, and the role of Providence in guiding the affairs of nations. Harris and Kidd show that through the struggles of war and the framing of the Constitution, Americans sought to reconcile their dedication to religious vitality with their commitment to religious freedom.

A collection of essays, mostly written at Oxford University during 2005, this book is meant as a brief guide to orient undergraduate and postgraduate study on the nature of, and relations between, the Greek East and Latin West in the Middle Ages. The book is divided into three sections, one on the Latin West, another on the Greek East, and a further section on the relations between them two. The first two subsections are divided into selections on key historical, theological and spiritual events and ideas from the time. A concluding essay, written for and delivered at a lecture at St Mary's University College, London, in 2011, ties all the sections together.

This book is a collection of essays looking at the thirteenth-century papacy situated in the history of ideas, particularly in relation to ecclesiology. The extent to which Christians in the thirteenth century adhered to a hierocratic notion of the papacy is explored from a variety of different standpoints: from papal publicists such as John of Paris, to the Greek Church, to the 'average' Christian within Western Christendom during this time. Philosophical tools, as well as historical methods, are employed to help analyse the idea that the hierocratic theory was globally accepted in its day, assumptions made by some modern historians. In addition, the ideas of Joachim of Fiore are held up to scrutiny in order to see just how far modern estimations of his orthodoxy on issues of ecclesiology are correct.
