| Abstract: | The lecture explores the role that theology played on the formation of the modern state from the 16th century onwards. It will also examine the secularisation of this state between the 18th and 20th centuries, asking whether religious groups have any place in the public square or whether they should be consigned exclusively to the private sphere. |
