Sociology of Religion ΙΙ

The Six Successive Greek Civilizations:     The Ancient Greek, Hellenistic, Greco-Roman, Byzantine, the Greeks of the Ottoman Empire, and the Modern Greek civilization. A retrospective study of Greek history based on the relationships between Politics, Religion, Economy, and Ideologies. This is grounded in the central perceptions regarding:

1. a) the human being, the citizen, and the believer,
2. b) God, the world, and the purpose of man on one side, and on the other hand,
3. c) the political system, governance, and perceptions of production and any redistribution of goods.

The relationships between freedom and forms of justice serve as the basis for the criteria of approach.     The relationships between political ideologies and Orthodox Christian doctrine. The relationships between political and religious authority. The relationships between political justice and theodicy.  The relationships between Science and Theology.     The relationships between citizen and believer.  State and Church in modern Greek society.
