Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of the relationship between the Church and the State in Western Civilization. The author argues that the Church developed its distinctive views on law, economics, and property as a result of its interactions with the decaying economy of the collapsing Roman Empire during the 4th century. The book examines how the Church's system of 'mystical economy' led to a rejection of traditional legal concepts, emphasizing instead divine favor and charity as the basis for social order. Drawing upon the work of Marx and Engels, the author traces the influence of ancient economic practices on the development of Christian thought, providing a novel perspective on the origins of the Church's doctrinal and ethical positions. This book offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of the complex relationship between religion, economics, and politics throughout history.
