Book Description
Excerpt from Standard Essays on State-Churches It is hoped that the friends of the Free Churches will give to this work such a circulation as will justify its issue. They will find in it the foundation principles of their existence laid down with unsurpassed power of reasoning and felicity of illustration. They will find in it an armoury of weapons wherewith the most able and plausible defences of Church Establishments may be successfully assailed. Most of the writers are now dead. Their works were of eminent service to their own generation, and, as now re published, will, it is believed, be of still greater service to those who have inherited the fruit of their labours. It may be desirable to state that any of these Essays can be had separately. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
The essays selected here for translation derive largely from Thomasius's work on Staatskirchenrecht, or the political jurisprudence of church law. These works, originating as disputations, theses, and pamphlets, were direct interventions in the unresolved issue of the political role of religion in Brandenburg-Prussia, a state in which a Calvinist dynasty ruled over a largely Lutheran population and nobility as well as a significant Catholic minority. In mandating limited religious toleration within the German states, the provisions of the Peace of Westphalia (1648) also provided the rulers of Brandenburg-Prussia with a way of keeping the powerful Lutheran church in check by guaranteeing a degree of religious freedom to non-Lutherans and thereby detaching the state from the most powerful territorial church. Thomasius's writings on church-state relations, many of them critical of the civil claims made by Lutheran theologians, are a direct response to this state of affairs. At the same time, owing to the depth of intellectual resources at his disposal, these works constitute a major contribution to the broader discussion of the relation between the religious and political spheres.
