Focusing on the political jurisprudence of church law, the selected essays explore the complex dynamics of religion's role in Brandenburg-Prussia, where a Calvinist dynasty governed a predominantly Lutheran populace alongside a notable Catholic minority. Thomasius's writings, emerging from a context of limited religious toleration established by the Peace of Westphalia, critically address Lutheran civil claims and advocate for a balance between church and state. His work significantly enriches the discourse on the interplay between religious and political domains.
