Part One - PERFECT SOCIETIES: RETHINKING THE CHURCH AND THE STATE
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 July 2009
Summary
State and religion – civil and ecclesiastical constitution – secular and churchly authority – how to oppose these pillars of social life to one another so that they are in balance and do not, instead, become burden on social life, or weigh down its foundations more than they uphold it – this is one of the most difficult tasks of politics.
