Cities of Gods : Faith, Politics and Pluralism in Judaism, Christianity and Islam Hardback
by Nigel Biggar, William Schweiker, Jamie S. Scott
Hardback
Description
In this fertile collection of essays, prominent theologians, philosophers, historians, and social scientists explore the mutual entanglements of religious identity with political activity in religiously plural societies.
Four essays are devoted to each of the three great religions of The Book, evidencing the variety of conceptions of such a relation within the same religious tradition and demonstrating how they came to be so conceived.
In addition, the three sections together display intriguing similarities between the conceptions that are pertinent to the different traditions.
These range from definant theocracy to religious sanction of the liberal, secular state.
