Abstract

This chapter explores a particular interdisciplinary approach to law and religion that lies at the intersection of legal theory and theology. It achieves this by means of an extended explication of a single sentence in Carl Schmitt’s Political Theology: ‘All significant concepts of the modern theory of the state are secularized theological concepts.’
