Abstract

The problem of the relationship between state and Church is important probably in any epoch. In the reviewed monograph editors and authors formulated useful conclusions in this theme. They used sometimes difficult legal language and there is a lack of comparative elements. This book can be helpful especially for PhD students looking for a discussion about the separation of the Church and state in the German legal science. The memory of religious wars is strong in German culture, therefore the religious peace is so strong emphasize as a duty of public authorities. The German scholars mark the advantages of the religious pluralism and diversity for the development of the society. They also defend the attitudes of non-believers. German legislators at the federal and country levels face with the problem of a balanced regulation of the status of Islam.
