- W2091176857 abstract "Church and State relations a topic of public debate. There are many issues involved here public religious observances, government assistance or exemptions extended to church groups, legislation reflecting particular religious and moral teachings to name a few. We cannot escape the fact that religion and the churches have a special status in our country, and that they exercise a considerable influence on society and even on government policy. It is historically instructive to see how many of the contemporary patterns and practices in respect to Church and State go back to that crucial period of initial recognition of the Church by the State under the emperor Constantine. For it was in that period that the Church and its clergy first received certain privileges and exemptions from the State, and that the State began to clothe itself in Christian forms and ceremony. I should like therefore to examine the changes which took place in Church and State relations under Constantine, particularly the legislation affecting the Church. I want to ask how, if at all, these changes were prepared for, how they were effected, and how, from the perspective of the Church, they were justified. The earliest Christians lived, of course, in a non-Christian and usually hostile society. The Church's claim to an exclusive revelation ruled out any possibility of syncretism or co-existence with the other cults of the Roman empire. The Church's position was analogous to that of Judaism with its rigid monotheism, but the Jews existed not merely as a religion but also as a nation with a long history. Their claim to special status was one of birthright. The Church, on the other hand, chose not to remain a sect of Judaism but rather to open itself to the world. It could not claim legal status as a nation, nor could it expect toleration as a religion without acknowledging the official emperor cult. Still, as the New Testament indicates, the relationship of Church and State did not become at once a matter of open conflict. There are at least three attitudes toward the State to be found in the New Testament.' There is the attitude of Luke, especially in the Acts of the Apostles, which views the" @default.
