Historical Dynamics of Church and State
This chapter explores the evolving relationship between the church and the state, highlighting three distinct historical models: the persecuted church, the aligned church-state dynamic under Constantine, and the contemporary model of separation. It examines how early Christians navigated persecution and authority while asserting their faith, and discusses the implications of the church's role in governance throughout history. Ultimately, the speakers address the importance of religion in civic life and advocate for a positive engagement between faith and politics in a post-Christian context.
