Interest in political theology has surged in recent years, and this accessible volume provides a focused overview of the field. Many are asking serious questions about religious faith in secular societies, the origin and function of democratic polities, worldwide economic challenges, the shift of Christianity's center of gravity to the global south, and anxieties related to bold and even violent assertions of theologically determined political ideas. In fourteen original essays, authors examine Christian political theology in order to clarify the contemporary discourse and some of its most important themes and issues. These include up-to-date, critical engagements with historical figures like Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and Immanuel Kant; discussions of how the Bible functions theopolitically; and introductions to key movements such as liberation theology, Catholic social teaching, and radical orthodoxy. An invaluable resource for students and scholars in theology, the Companion will also be beneficial to those in history, philosophy, and politics.

Die Studie widmet sich Schleiermachers politischem Einsatz während aller Phasen seines Wirkens. Auf breiter, zum Teil neu erschlossener Quellenbasis werden die politischen Predigten, die Tätigkeit im bildungs- und hochschulpolitischen Bereich, die staatstheoretische Konzeption, die Mitwirkung an politisch-publizistischen Aktivitäten im Rahmen der preußischen Reformpartei ("Der Preußische Correspondent") und die Urteilsbildung in Bezug auf Judentum und jüdische Kultur untersucht. Mit seinem in der neueren Forschung bisher wenig beachteten politischen Entwurf erweist sich Schleiermacher als Programmatiker einer liberalen Staatsbürgergesellschaft. This study deals with Schleiermacher’s political activity during all phases of his life and work. Using a broad range of sources, some of them new, it examines his political sermons, his activity in educational and university politics, his theoretical notions of the state, his collaboration in political journalistic activity within the Prussian Reform Party (Der Preußische Correspondent) and his judgement on Judaism and Jewish culture. Schleiermacher presents himself as a programmatic supporter of a liberal civil society formed by citizens.

Church leaders and scholars have long wrestled with what should provide a guiding vision for Christian engagement in culture and politics. In this book Thomas Bushlack argues that a retrieval of Thomas Aquinas's understanding of civic virtue provides important resources for guiding this engagement today. Bushlack suggests that Aquinas's vision of the pilgrim church provides a fitting model for seeking the earthly common good of the political community, and he notes the features of a Thomistic account of justice and civic virtue that remain particularly salient for the twenty-first century. The book concludes with suggestions for cultivating a Christian rhetoric of the common good as an alternative to the predominant forms of discourse fostered within the culture wars that have been so divisive.

In some religious countries, churches have drafted constitutions, restricted abortion, and controlled education. In others, church influence on public policy is far weaker. Why? Nations under God argues that where religious and national identities have historically fused, churches gain enormous moral authority-and covert institutional access. These powerful churches then shape policy in backrooms and secret meetings instead of through open democratic channels such as political parties or the ballot box.Through an in-depth historical analysis of six Christian democracies that share similar religious profiles yet differ in their policy outcomes-Ireland and Italy, Poland and Croatia, and the United States and Canada-Anna Grzymała-Busse examines how churches influenced education, abortion, divorce, stem cell research, and same-sex marriage. She argues that churches gain the greatest political advantage when they appear to be above politics. Because institutional access is covert, they retain their moral authority and their reputation as defenders of the national interest and the common good.Nations under God shows how powerful church officials in Ireland, Canada, and Poland have directly written legislation, vetoed policies, and vetted high-ranking officials. It demonstrates that religiosity itself is not enough for churches to influence politics-churches in Italy and Croatia, for example, are not as influential as we might think-and that churches allied to political parties, such as in the United States, have less influence than their notoriety suggests.
