The nature and role of positive law has largely been neglected in recent Protestant theology and social ethics. Modern Protestantism and Positive Law introduces and critically summarizes a tradition in Continental Protestant thought about human law, drawing on writings of Barth, Brunner, Ellul, Thielicke, Wolf, Pannenberg, Huber, and Kreβ, many of which have not been translated into English. The book argues that law is an essential political and social institution within developed societies, one that is normative and dependent on an encompassing vision of justice but that also necessarily reflects the contemporary pluralism of those societies. Modern Protestantism and Positive Law argues that theological and ethical perspectives on positive law developed by Protestant thinkers have a place in reflection on positive law, provided they are conceived and expressed in a manner appropriately respectful of the diversity of contemporary opinion regarding the expression of religious perspectives in the public arena.

Au XVIe siècle, de profondes transformations vont bouleverser le christianisme occidental : avec les Réformes protestantes, un monde religieux unifié sous la houlette de la papauté laisse place à une chrétienté éclatée, bientôt meurtrie par les guerres de Religion. Au monde médiéval succède la modernité. C’est cette histoire que retrace Pierre-Olivier Léchot à l’occasion des cinq cents ans de l’affichage (supposé), le 31 octobre 1517, des 95 thèses de Luther. En présentant les conditions d’émergence des Réformes protestantes et leurs destins à travers l’Europe, en insistant sur leur diversité et en s’arrêtant sur les grandes figures du mouvement réformateur (Luther, Zwingli, Calvin), il ne raconte rien de moins que des changements culturels et intellectuels qui ont durablement modifié le visage de l’Occident.
