How has religion affected political institutions and ideologies, and, in turn, been affected by them? Which religious values and institutions are compatible with democracy, and which ones go beyond democracy? Can the concepts of law in religion and politics be reconciled? We will explore the relation of three monotheisms -- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam -- to political life in nation-states and empires through theoretical and empirical readings from ancient, medieval and modern times.
