Abstract

In medieval Europe, the death of a king could not only cause a dispute about the succession, but also a severe crisis. In times of a vacant throne particular responsibility fell to the bishops - whose general importance for the time around the first millennium has been revealed by recent scholarship - as royal counsellors and policy makers. This volume therefore concentrates on the bishops' room for manoeuvre and the patterns of episcopal power, focusing on the Eastern Frankish Reich and Anglo-Saxon England in a comparative approach which is not least based upon the research of a renowned medie

Abstract

What explains the rapid growth of state power in early modern Europe? While most scholars have pointed to the impact of military or capitalist revolutions, Philip S. Gorski argues instead for the importance of a disciplinary revolution unleashed by the Reformation. By refining and diffusing a variety of disciplinary techniques and strategies, such as communal surveillance, control through incarceration, and bureaucratic office-holding, Calvin and his followers created an infrastructure of religious governance and social control that served as a model for the rest of Europe-and the world.

Abstract

The return of religion to the public sphere raises various dilemmas. Rights and values, pluralism and identity, justice and efficacy, autonomy and tradition, and integration and toleration cannot always be balanced without the loss of something valuable. This volume of essays tackles such dilemmas from two perspectives. To begin, major contemporary theorists rethink the place of religion in the public sphere from republican, liberal and critical-theoretical viewpoints. Contributors then bring together theory and practice to better conceptualize and assess the latest developments in European jurisprudence with respect to religion.

Abstract

La France est le seul pays d’Europe où l’État et les Églises sont le plus strictement séparés depuis la loi de 1905. Si on fait de cette loi la lointaine conséquence des rapports tumultueux entre l’Église catholique et la Révolution française, on oublie trop que, dès la seconde moitié du xviiie siècle, la France fut le pays où l’influence du clergé sur la population s’effrita, diminua et parfois s’évanouit. Cela tint au mouvement de la société qui conduisit une partie de la bourgeoisie à refuser la place seconde que lui fixait l’Église dans le corps social, aux frictions entre le clergé et les masses paysannes dans certaines régions, au discrédit de l’Église, effet de sa lutte interne entre jansénistes et anti-jansénistes menée sous l’œil goguenard des philosophes. Sur tous les fronts de combat un personnage nouveau entra en scène, qui concurrença le prêtre dans son rôle de guide des consciences : l’avocat. Les luttes politiques de la fin de l’Ancien Régime firent de lui le porte-parole des mécontents, traduisant leurs griefs et leurs revendications en termes politiques. À la veille de la Révolution, la croyance religieuse commençait à se transformer en opinion privée. Dans les autres pays de l’Europe catholique, on assista à un processus inverse. Le choix obligé fait par les souverains absolutistes éclairés de transformer le fonctionnement de l’État mais sans envisager jamais de toucher à l’ordre social, leur incapacité à améliorer les conditions de vie du plus grand nombre tout en agressant leurs croyances et leurs pratiques, entraîna la constitution d’un front du refus unissant les groupes sociaux les plus divers et aux intérêts matériels souvent antagonistes. Le clergé en fut l’organisateur et porte-parole naturel et renforça son magistère spirituel. L’Absolutisme éclairé fut un échec. C’est sur ce même front du refus que devait se construire la Contre Révolution après 1789. Philippe Goujard est professeur d’Histoire moderne à l’université de Rouen où il…

Abstract

This is a time of far-reaching change and debate in American education and social policy, spurred in part by a rediscovery that civil-society institutions are often better than government at meeting human needs. As Charles Glenn shows in this book, faith-based schools and social agencies have been particularly effective, especially in meeting the needs of the most vulnerable. However, many oppose providing public funds for religious institutions, either on the grounds that it would threaten the constitutional separation of church and state or from concern it might dilute or secularize the distinctive character of the institutions themselves. Glenn tackles these arguments head on. He builds a uniquely comprehensive and persuasive case for faith-based organizations playing a far more active role in American schools and social agencies. And, most importantly, he shows that they could do so both while receiving public funds and while striking a workable balance between accountability and autonomy. Glenn is ideally placed to make this argument. A leading expert on international education policies, he was for many years the director of urban education and civil rights for the Massachusetts Department of Education, and also serves as an Associate Minister of inner-city churches in Boston. Glenn draws on all his varied experience here as he reviews the policies and practices of governments in the United States and Europe as they have worked with faith-based schools and also with such social agencies as the Salvation Army and Teen Challenge. He seeks to answer key theoretical and practical questions: Why should government make greater use of faith-based providers? How could they do so without violating First Amendment limits? What working relationships protect the goals and standards both of government and of the organizations that the government funds? Glenn shows that, with appropriate forms of accountability and a strong commitment to a distinctive vision of service, faith-based organizations can collaborate safely with government, to their mutual benefit and that of those they serve. This is a major contribution to one of the most important topics in political and social debate today.

Abstract

In den vergangenen Jahren ist das Thema "Säkularisierung" zu einem beliebten Forschungsparadigma geworden. Geschichtliche Prozesse und gegenwärtige Phänomene werden unter der Perspektive von "Säkularisierung" beschrieben und gewinnen so ein besonderes Profil. Was aber steckt hinter der Begrifflichkeit und mit welchen Theorien und Theorieentwicklungen sind wir konfrontiert? Die Beiträge dieses Bandes versuchen dies zu klären und sowohl historische als auch gegenwartsbezogene Zugänge zu entwickeln. Dabei geht es um Säkularisierungsschübe und deren Auslöser in der Geschichte; um die Frage danach, wie Religion und religiöse Praxis in jeweils unterschiedlicher Weise auf Säkularisierungsphänomene reagierten. Denn Tatsache ist, dass die Religion - in welcher Ausprägung auch immer - nie ganz verdrängt wurde. Auch die Auswirkungen von Säkularisierung und Säkularisierungsschüben auf die gelebte Religion werden thematisiert, ebenso wie mögliche gesellschaftliche und politische Auswirkungen. Kam es zu einer Verdrängung der Religion aus der Öffentlichkeit oder zu einer Selbstbehauptung der Religion gegen säkularisierende Tendenzen? Um dies zu beleuchten werden verschiedene geographische und religiöse Räume abgeschritten, wobei auch geschichtliche Entwicklungen aufgezeigt werden sollen, um den Blick auf Säkularisierungen in der Gegenwart zu schärfen.

Abstract

Der Predigt in der Karolingerzeit hat die historische Forschung bisher wenig Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet, obwohl sie in der Gesetzgebung seit der Admonitio generalis von 789 eine große Rolle spielte. In diesem Text forderte der fränkische König Karl der Große nicht nur die Bischöfe und Priester auf zu predigen, sondern gab gleichzeitig auch die Inhalte vor. Tatsächlich setzt im letzten Viertel des 8. Jahrhunderts eine reiche Überlieferung von Predigthandschriften ein. Auf Basis dieser Überlieferung würdigt das Buch erstmals umfassend die gesellschaftliche Bedeutung, die der Predigt zur Zeit Karls des Großen zukam: Es untersucht ihr Verhältnis zu den Kapitularien und beleuchtet dabei ihre bisher kaum beachtete Funktion als politisches Instrument im Reich Karls des Großen. Many sermon manuscripts were created around 800 CE over the course of the Carolingian reform movement, but until now, historical researchers have largely overlooked them. The presentation analyzes selected sermon collections to reveal their importance as a medium for implementing reforms at the local level, thereby making them an important instrument of Carolingian rule.
