Father John Courtney Murray's Church-State Theory and Christian Tradition of Rational Politics
Abstract
Since the end of the Second World War, Father John Courtney Murray, S.J., theologian and philosopher from Woodstock College, and lecturer in philosophy at Yale University, has devoted himself to the study of a question which takes on with each passing year an increasing urgency. The problem of Church and State is not the oldest theological problem in the history of Christianity, but it nevertheless bears an intrinsic relation to all of the ancient controversies which sprang up within the Christian Community concerning the Nature of the God-Man, the Nature of His Church, the sacramental order, the problem of good and evil, the relation of matter to spirit, of Old Testament to New, of the Kingdom of God to this world.
