Series Statement: Cambridge studies in social theory, religion, and politics

Content: The issue of religious liberty has gained ever-increasing attention among policy makers and the public. Whereas politicians have long championed the idea of religious freedom and tolerance, the actual achievement of these goals has been an arduous battle for religious minorities. What motivates political leaders to create laws providing for greater religious liberty? In contrast to scholars who argue that religious liberty results from the spread of secularization and modern ideas, Anthony Gill argues that religious liberty results from interest-based calculations of secular rulers. Using insights from political economists, Gill develops a theory of the origins of religious liberty based upon the political and economic interests of governing officials. Political leaders are most likely to permit religious freedom when it enhances their own political survival, tax revenue, and the economic welfare of their country. He explores his theory using cases from British America, Latin America, Russia, and the Baltic states.

Content: For most of its history, the Latin American Catholic Church has been considered a pillar of conservatism. This image changed dramatically in the 1960s and 1970s, when bishops in countries such as Brazil, Chile, and El Salvador publicly denounced repressive dictatorial regimes in their respective countries. Observers rushed to understand both the causes and consequences of this phenomenon, while unfortunately ignoring the persistence of Catholic support for authoritarianism in Argentina, Honduras, and Uruguay. In Rendering unto Caesar, Anthony Gill offers an answer to the question of why Catholic leaders in some countries came to oppose dictatorial rule but, equally important, why many did not.

Content: Nowhere has the relationship between state and church been more volatile in recent decades than in Latin America. Anthony Gill's controversial book not only explains why Catholic leaders in some countries came to oppose dictatorial rule but, equally important, why many did not. Using historical and statistical evidence from twelve countries, Gill for the first time uncovers the causal connection between religious competition and the rise of progressive Catholicism. In places where evangelical Protestantism and "spiritist" sects made inroads among poor Catholics, Church leaders championed the rights of the poor and turned against authoritarian regimes to retain parishioners. Where competition was minimal, bishops maintained good relations with military rulers. Applying economic reasoning to an entirely new setting, Rendering unto Caesar offers a new theory of religious competition that dramatically revises our understanding of church-state relations.
