Redeeming Politics by Peter Iver Kaufman
This study explores how various Christian leaders throughout history have used forms of political theology in order to merge conquest with hopes for political and religious redemption. It covers such figures as Constantine, Augustine, Charlemagne, Pope Gregory VII, Dante, Calvin and Cromwell.
"[This book] stands as an impressive series of studies of the church-state relationship. . . It shows how creative religious leaders have been as they have worked to relate faith to politics in the assurance that the world and the communities of faith cannot exist well in complete separation."---W. Fred Graham, Journal of the American Academy of Religion
