Abstract
This first chapter introduces the concept of Christodemocracy and defines that term in reference to other works of political theory. It specifies the parameters of the book’s assertions and defines the object of analysis. It places Christodemocracy along the continuum of democratic typologies and explains the utility of naming yet another.
