L'esistenza nel mondo classico di un potere pubblico a partecipazione cristiana, precedente la "cristianizzazione" della legislazione e delle istituzioni imperiali, è un'ipotesi plausibile, esistono precisi indizi documentali. Tuttavia, l'interesse degli storici non si è quasi mai rivolto alle specificità teologiche, socio-economiche e psicologiche di questa presenza politica. Questo saggio si propone di ricostruire la genealogia del politico cristiano nell'impero "pagano", un personaggio culturalmente "scomodo" e storiograficamente inedito. Emerge, così, una figura del rimosso culturale cristiano, finalmente liberata come risorsa per raccontare un'altra storia, che interseca teologia politica, storia del cristianesimo antico, storia delle religioni e storia sociale

Pope Francis, in his foreword, states that one of the major themes in the thought of Joseph Ratzinger is the relationship between faith and politics: "His firsthand experience of Nazi totalitarianism led him even as a young student to reflect on the limits of obedience to the state for the sake of the liberty of obeying God." In support of this, he quotes from one of Ratzinger's texts presented in this volume: "The state is not the whole of human existence and does not encompass all human hope." Ratzinger explored various aspects of this subject in books, speeches, and homilies throughout his career, from his years as a theology professor to his tenure as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and most recently as Pope Benedict XVI. This is the only book that collates all of his most significant works on political themes inside one volume.

Si le religieux est aujourd'hui affaire personnelle et n'est pas censé interférer avec le politique, il en allait tout autrement dans l'Europe moderne.Dans l'ancien monde, où la religion était structurante et commandait à tout et à tous, le christianisme a forgé des concepts essentiels à la régulation des sociétés. Trois principes ont façonné les rapports entre Églises et États : l'autorité vient de Dieu, les pouvoirs temporels et spirituels sont indépendants, les fins humaines sont subordonnées aux spirituelles. Ce cadre restait toutefois assez large pour justifier des politiques différentes. Les théologiens n'ont pas dicté une réponse unique quand le souverain, fût-il le pape, se trouva confronté à un conflit.Déstabilisées par les réformes du XVIe siècle, les monarchies surent tirer profit de la dislocation de la Chrétienté latine, abandonnant la guerre religieuse pour la raison d'État. Aux siècles suivants, alors que le désenchantement du monde ôtait à la Création son aspect magique, l'essor du rationalisme contribua autant à extraire la religion du champ politique qu'à asseoir la tutelle de l'État sur l'Église.

Religious diversity has long been a defining feature of the United States. But what may be even more remarkable than the sheer range of faiths is the diversity of political visions embedded in those religious traditions. Matthew Bowman delves into the ongoing struggle over the potent word "Christian," not merely to settle theological disputes but to discover its centrality to American politics. As Christian: The Politics of a Word in America shows, for many American Christians, concepts like liberty and equality are rooted in the transcendent claims about human nature that Christianity offers. Democracy, equality under the law, and other basic principles of American government are seen to depend upon the Christian faith's sustenance and support. Yet despite this presumed consensus, differing Christian beliefs have led to dispute and disagreement about what American society and government should look like. While many white American Protestants associate Christianity with Western Euro-American civilization, individual liberty, and an affirmation of capitalism, other American Christians have long rejected those assumptions. They maintain that Christian principles demand political programs as wide-ranging as economic communalism, international cooperation, racial egalitarianism, and social justice. The varieties of American Christian experience speak to an essentially contested concept of political rights and wrongs. Though diverse Christian faiths espouse political visions, Christian politics defy clear definition, Bowman writes. Rather, they can be seen as a rich and varied collection of beliefs about the interrelationships of divinity, human nature, and civic life that engage and divide the nation's Christian communities and politics alike.--

Erudito, storico e letterato, Lodovico Antonio Muratori fu una delle figure più rappresentative del dibattito culturale settecentesco. La presente raccolta desidera sondare l’apporto offerto dal bibliotecario dei duchi d’Este alle discussioni religiose e politiche del suo tempo. Attraverso alcuni episodi significativi, il volume conferma come la proposta muratoriana resti un utile mezzo per comprendere il contesto italiano ed europeo e le sue trasformazioni.
