A recently published volume analyzes the connections between law and religion(s) from a cultural perspective, emphasizing how these connections operate even when common sense does not adequately acknowledge their action. The text from which the reflections presented here proceed consists of a broad survey of the political relevance of religious discourse and symbols. It addresses in particular the still ongoing influence of Christian political theology on the overall framework of Western forms of constitutionalism. The above volume seems to delve into scholarly perspectives that its author himself has long studied and criticized. However, while recognizing the peculiar importance of this kind of work, two elements appear still partially unexplored: a) the role (and rules) of dissent in confessional orders in producing a change in the perception of politics and law; b) the growing and not always so hidden or in chiaroscuro presentation of the effects of consumerism and secularism on religious circuits themselves.

Abstract

A recently published volume analyzes the connections between law and religion(s) from a cultural perspective, emphasizing how these connections operate even when common sense does not adequately acknowledge their action. The text from which the reflections presented here proceed consists of a broad survey of the political relevance of religious discourse and symbols. It addresses in particular the still ongoing influence of Christian political theology on the overall framework of Western forms of constitutionalism. The above volume seems to delve into scholarly perspectives that its author himself has long studied and criticized. However, while recognizing the peculiar importance of this kind of work, two elements appear still partially unexplored: a) the role (and rules) of dissent in confessional orders in producing a change in the perception of politics and law; b) the growing and not always so hidden or in chiaroscuro presentation of the effects of consumerism and secularism on religious circuits themselves.
