Religionspolitik

The present volume contains twenty essays on political ethics in which Arnulf von Scheliha elucidates the relationship between religion and politics. The presence of religious figures in the political sphere and the increasing influence on policy that today's plural religious culture exerts on parties, parliaments and states are examined and interpreted from modern Protestantism's vantage point. Current conflicts besetting politics and religion in Germany, exemplary policy areas where Protestant political ethics still needs to prove itself - such as climate, migration and refugee policies, the future of religious education in schools, and how to deal with right-wing populism - are also discussed.
