Recenzii
Religion and the State is a much-needed study of one of the most important aspects of human history. This title is highly recommended.
The relationships between church and state are vastly different throughout the world, from theoretically separate as in the United States to virtually indistinguishable as in Iran. Merriman (history, U. of Kentucky) makes that abundantly clear in his international analysis of roles and relationships between government and religion. The book's 200 entries are a combination of issue-based essays and country-by-country explorations of those relationships. A helpful chronology helps frame the book's examination of the interactions of church and state both historically and as they exist today. It also contains a glossary, a comprehensive index, and a bibliography of print and online resources.
