この電子書籍について

Religion: State Control explores the intricate relationship between state power and religious belief, focusing on the late 18th century. It examines revolutionary France's attempt to control the Catholic Church through the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, contrasting it with established religious practices in Britain and the emerging religious freedom in America. This comparative approach offers a nuanced understanding of secularization and religious freedom.

Did you know that the French Revolution's efforts to create a state-controlled church backfired, leading to significant resistance and contributing to the Revolution's violence?
Or, that the American model promoted the separation of church and state fostering a pluralistic religious landscape?

The book progresses from outlining the historical context and key concepts to detailed analyses of the Civil Constitution, resistance movements, and comparative studies of Britain and America. By drawing on primary and secondary sources, it presents a compelling argument about the complexities of state control and religious autonomy.

Ultimately, Religion: State Control offers a fresh perspective on the historical roots of contemporary debates surrounding secularism and the separation of church and state.
