This book provides an essential resource for studies in religion and politics. It is divided into five parts, beginning with an introduction outlining the contemporary relevance of reviewing the relationship between the two subject areas and the biblical and classical tradition; followed by a section on the classical texts. The third section looks at the legitimation of sovereign power, or divine right. The fourth and last sections examine political atheism and the contemporary debates respectively. Key readings have been carefully selected for all of these areas, with a helpful introduction to each section.
