Abstract

Anna Grzymala-Busse lucidly details how the Roman Catholic Church influenced state building in medieval Europe. And although Grzymala-Busse argues that "the medieval church fundamentally shaped state formation in Europe" (p. 12), she is ultimately cautious and does not "claim that the church somehow determined the course of European state development" (p. 181). I Sacred foundations i deserves to be a touchstone of European state formation for its breadth, incisiveness, and originality. [Extracted from the article]
