identify and explain four views regarding the relationship between the state and the church

Answer 18

(1) Absolute separation of church and state—The classic secularist view teaches that society and government should not have any religious influence.
(2) State over church—The state rules over the church, as was practiced in the Byzantine Empire. In medieval western Europe, rulers often appointed the leaders of the church.
(3) Church over state— The church controls the state. Pope Innocent III demanded and received submission from King John of England and King Philip II of France.
(4) Distinction and influence—The church is distinct from the state but may influence it. This ideal relationship allows for the church to influence society and to inform non-Christians what God’s moral standards are without closely identifying God’s people with any specific state.
