Before the last quarter of the eighteenth century there was a remarkably uniform pattern of church-state relationships across Europe. In the course of the nineteenth century this firm alliance broke down. Religious pluralism developed everywhere, requiring church and state to reach fresh solutions. This volume, Political and Legal Perspectives, highlights the impact of political change, or ‘democratization’, on religious reform in Northern Europe. Competing political parties expressed contrasting views about whether ‘the state’ should be ‘neutral’ or whether it should give particular support to one church or another. It is hardly surprising that there was no ‘one fits all’ solution. Some countries were multi-confessional while others were still confessional. The focus of this book is historical, but how ‘the state’ deals with ‘the church’ (and ‘the church’ with ‘the state’) continues to be a live public issue in a multi-confessional and multi-faith European Union.
Developments in church-state relationships in Northern Europe between 1780 and 1920 had a substantial impact on reformist ideas, projects, and movements within the churches. Conversely, the dynamics of religious reform prompted the state to react in various ways. To what extent did church and state mutually influence each other? How and why did they do so? These are the central questions in The Churches, the second volume in the Dynamics of Religious Reform Series. The volume concentrates on the reforms generated by the churches themselves and on their response to the political and legal reforms initiated by the state. It shows how processes of church reform evolved differently in different countries.
