by Arthur Howard Galton

Book Overview

""Church And State In France, 1300-1907"" is a historical account of the relationship between the Catholic Church and the French state from the 14th century to the early 20th century. Written by Arthur Galton, the book explores the complex and often tumultuous interactions between these two powerful institutions, from the struggles for control over religious and political power during the Middle Ages to the eventual separation of church and state in the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the key events, personalities, and ideologies that shaped this relationship over the centuries, including the role of the papacy, the impact of the Reformation, the rise of secularism, and the challenges posed by the French Revolution. It also explores the ways in which the Church and the state intersected in areas such as education, law, and social policy, and the tensions that arose as a result of these interactions.Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, Galton's book offers a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of a crucial aspect of French history. It will be of interest to scholars and students of history, religion, and politics, as well as to anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between church and state in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
