| Research Abstract |
1)The relationship between church (or religion) and state has been dealt with from various viewpoints in the fields of not only theology and religious studies but also history and the sociology of religion. In the first part of this paper, I classify the relationships between the two, utilizing the metaphor of 'marketization', into types: the Constantine-type which is the monopoly of market by the state, the 17^<th> Century-England-type, which is the intermediate status of the privatization of market, and the New Continent-type which is the full liberalization of market. In the second part, I will discus the perspectives and the actuality of this typology.
2)One of the characteristics of modern religious situation is privatized faith. Critique of religion by the Enlightenment thought stripped religion of its social function, and ordered it out of the public arena.
Theology, likewise, was excluded from scientific scholarship, and lost the floor. Theology became the matter of personal taste, or the discussion of particular denominational creeds, or even coded discussion of the secret society. Thus it, like the appendix, lost its raison deter in the modern society. However, theology originally was far from such a modern appearance. It had a social function as public theology.
It must, however, be noted that there are two types of public theology. One is patronized the government such as the theology of Adolf von Harnack in Germany. The other is to relatives the nation and to enable one to work out a policy as Reinhold Niebuhr attempted in Irony of American History. I shall propose the possibility for Theology to develop the latter kind of public theology.
