this semester, we will discuss what is harmful to a liberal democracy. that is what we are doing. last week, we talked about christianity, and what christianity does to politics. ' commandlly, jesus to give to caesar what is caesar and give to god what is god. this fundamentally alters and radically disturbs the classical conception of politics. it destroys the idea that political authority directly comes from god. that is a presumption of classical politics. and give to god what is god. ok. christianity introduces all sorts of fundamental questions. what is the relationship between religious and political authority, the pope and the emperor, religious rulers and secular rulers? the two swords become too. what are the grounds for political authority? if divine authority is political you justifyow do it? how do we justify the rule of some men over other men. one response, and this is what we started to do last week, one response is to invoke religious authority. you see this in sharia law. we didn't talk about this. we see this in the argument for divine right of kings. you may kno
