• The Triumph and Shame of Christianity in power: INTRODUCTION •
This is the first part of a six part video essay in which I want to reflect on the relationship between Christians and temporal powers (the state). Countless books have been written on this topic, and a great deal of thought has been given to the dialogue between faith and politics. But more than relying on fashionable political theories or on the old prejudices of the Enlightenment, I would like to look at the example of Jesus and the testimony of the first Christians for some ways that allow us to reconstruct a model of action that can remain relevant in the XXI century.
