Religion, State and Society in Modern European History (HEBR0006)

How did the relationship between faith communities (Christianity, Islam, and Judaism), the state, and society at large change in European history since the early modern period? This module proposes to look into this dynamic from the Protestant Reformation to the rise of so-called Islamic State very recently.

We will reflect on:

changes in the role of religion itself
 confessional conflict and religious warfare
 secularisation, the Enlightenment, atheism
 the separation of faith communities and the state, as well as the establishment of religions
 the definition of religious fundamentalisms
 the impact of religious law (minority legal orders) on European legal systems
 the impact of religious commitment to political transformation
 the accommodation of religious diversity today, e.g. in education
The module combines an overall historical perspective with theoretical approaches including social sciences, (legal) philosophy, and anthropology. It should contribute to a critical and empathetic understanding of the complex European religious and secular legacies. It stimulates debate about past and current developments, integrating theoretical approaches and case studies. All readings provided will be in English, and no prior knowledge of the field is required.
