This comparative analysis of the constitutional law of religion-state relations in the United States and Germany focuses on the principle of state neutrality. A strong emphasis on state neutrality, a notoriously ambiguous concept, is a shared feature in the constitutional jurisprudence of the US Supreme Court and the German Federal Constitutional Court, but neutrality does not have the same meaning in both systems. In Germany neutrality tends to indicate more distance between church and state, whereas the opposite is the case in the United States. Neutrality also has other meanings in both systems, making straightforward comparison more difficult than it might seem. Although the underlying trajectory of neutrality is different in both countries, the discussion of neutrality breaks down into largely parallel themes. By examining those themes in a comparative perspective, the meaning of state neutrality in religion-state relations can be delineated.

Das Synodaldekret aus dem Jahre 243 v. Chr. wurde von Ptolemaios III. in Alexandria erlassen und - wie das Kanopus-Dekret und der Stein von Rosette - in drei Sprachen in den Tempeln Ägyptens veröffentlicht. Dieses bisher unbekannte Dekret stammt von einer Stele aus einem Provinztempel in Mittelägypten, die den kompletten hieroglyphischen und demotischen Text liefert. Zwar fehlt die griechische Fassung, doch kann sie mithilfe der hieroglyphischen und demotischen Vorlage aus Fragmenten wiederhergestellt werden, die heute in verschiedenen Museen aufbewahrt werden. Gegenstand des Dekrets sind die Bekanntmachung der Feierlichkeiten zum Geburtstag und zum Thronbesteigungstag des Königs Ptolemaios III., zum Geburtstag seiner Gemahlin Berenike sowie die Stiftungen von Statuen und Opfern anlässlich der Feiern. Die historische Bedeutung des Dekrets ergibt sich daraus, dass in ihm über den Beginn des Dritten Syrischen Kriegs (246-245), über die Rückführung der von den Persern geraubten Götterbilder sowie über die Fürsorge des Königs für die Bevölkerung und die Tempel Ägyptens berichtet wird und dass die exakten Daten der Königsfeste mitgeteilt werden.

This wide-ranging book charts how the East India Company grappled with religious issues in its multi-faith empire, putting them into the context of pressures exerted both in Britain and on the subcontinent, from the Company's early mercantile beginnings to the bloody end of its rule in 1858. Religion was at the heart of the East India Company's relationship with India, but the course of its religious policy has rarely been examined in any systematic way. The free exercise of religion, the policy the Company adopted in its early days in order to safeguard the security of its possessions, was challenged by Evangelicals in the late eighteenth century. They demanded that the Company should grant free access to Christians of all Protestant denominations and an end to 'barbaric' Indian religious practices. This gave rise to an unprecedented petitioning movement in 1813, comparable in strength to that for the abolition of the slave trade the following year. It was an important milestone in British domestic politics. The final years of the Company's rule were dominated by its attempts to withstand Evangelical demands in the face of growing hostility from Indians. In the end it pleased no one, and its rule came to a gory and ignominious end. In this compelling account, Penny Carson examines the twists and turns of the East India Company's policy on religious issues. The story of how the Company dealt with the fact that it was a Christian Company, trying to be equitable to the different faiths it found in India, has resonances for Britain today as it attempts to accommodate the religions of all its peoples within the Christian heritage and structure of the state. Penelope Carson is an independent scholar with a doctorate from King's College, London.
