Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. How can bloody revolutions be avoided? Revolutions and Constitutions proposes that the best means of avoiding revolutions is to provide good governance. Constitutions reshape or restrain the forces that would tear the fabric of society apart. The work combines historical analysis with normative political theory to explore the relationship between governance and political violence.Volume One examines terrorism as an act of violence in pursuit of a political aim. What do terrorists want, and what happens when they get it? This volume introduces the Revolutionary Terrorism Value Chain, which asserts that those who resort to terrorism to gain power continue to use terror to maintain power and extend the influence of the state.Volume Two investigates the fraught role of outside intervention in internal conflicts, tracing how foreign powers have alternately fueled and suppressed revolutionary movements throughout history.Volume Three surveys the long arc of republican government, from ancient Greek experiments in self-rule to modern constitutional orders, arguing that constitutional government can preclude the chaos of political violence and that good governance, not repression, offers the surest path away from the abyss. Volume Three concludes with a reflection on the sometimes conflicting allegiances that Christians owe to temporal and spiritual authorities, a tension that has shaped political thought from Augustine to the present day.Written for scholars and general readers alike, this interdisciplinary work offers a significant contribution to debates in political theory, foreign policy, and comparative constitutionalism.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. When Conscience Went to War: Religion, Liberty, and England's Revolutionary CenturyHow theological disputes over bishops, prayers, and church government ignited civil war, regicide, and religious revolution and gave birth to liberty of conscience.In 1642, England tore itself apart. King faced Parliament. Neighbor fought neighbor. By the time the guns fell silent, a king had been executed, military dictatorship had failed, and revolution had triumphed. The death toll: 200,000 in a nation of five million.But this was no ordinary political conflict. It was a war over how to worship God.Should churches be governed by bishops or elected elders? Should ministers read set prayers or speak extemporaneously? These questions sound arcane today. In 17th-century England, they were worth killing for, and worth dying for.Four Visions Competed for England's Soul: Anglicans defended bishops, liturgy, and traditional orderPresbyterians demanded godly discipline and moral reformationIndependents championed voluntary churches and liberty of conscienceQuakers proclaimed radical equality and refused all violenceNone won completely. None lost entirely. From their collision emerged something unexpected: toleration, not from principle but from exhausted pragmatism after every attempt at uniformity failed.Dramatic Narrative Meets Deep Analysis: Experience the period through vivid scenes: Charles I walking to the scaffold in two shirts so spectators wouldn't think he shivered from fearOliver Cromwell dissolving Parliament at gunpoint: "You have sat too long for any good!"James Nayler branded with hot iron for blasphemy while crowds watched in horrorPresbyterian pastors preaching final sermons before ejection from their parishesUnderstand how religious ideas shaped political revolution: Why Presbyterians built church courts to enforce disciplineHow Independents' theology led them to champion libertyWhy Anglicans believed only bishops could prevent chaosHow Quakers transformed from disruptive prophets to organized pacifistsThe Settlement That Changed the WorldBy 1689, England had learned painful lessons: Religious uniformity couldn't be enforced. Conscience couldn't be coerced. Diversity was permanent, not temporary.The Toleration Act satisfied no one but proved more durable than the perfect visions that preceded it. From England's failures came modern religious liberty, constitutional government, and denominational pluralism.This is the story of how we got here, told with scholarly rigor but written for everyone who cares about freedom, faith, and the challenge of building societies where people with irreconcilable beliefs can live together. Perfect For: Readers wanting to understand the roots of religious liberty and constitutional governmentStudents of the English Civil War, Reformation, or political thoughtAnyone wrestling with questions about conviction, authority, and pluralismBelievers and skeptics interested in how theological ideas shape political realityBased on extensive primary research. Accessible to general readers. Rigorous for scholars. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. …
