"Covenant and Civil Society is the final volume in Elazar's monumental series The Covenant Tradition in Politics. In it, he traces the tradition's rebirth and development in the modern epoch."--BOOK JACKET.
"Covenant and Civil Society also considers issues of communal solidarity on a postmodern basis. Elazar traces the transition from the covenanted commonwealth of the Protestant Reformation to the civil society of the modern epoch, and explores the role of the covenant in the modern state era and the development of modern democracy. Covenantalism is further explored through the examples of Biblical Israel, Swiss exceptionalism, Northern Italy, and the Latin-Germanic borderlands.
Though these are typically thought of as organic or hiearachical models, he argues that in the end a covenantal vein is part of the western tradition as such."--BOOK JACKET.
