"Church and Nation. Lectures by Bishop Paddock for 1914-1915" is a collection of speeches by the famous British clergyman William Temple. In this book, the author explores the complex relationship between religion, church, and nation in the context of the complex political and social realities of his time. Temple examines the influence of Christian values on the formation of civil society ethics and the church's responsibility to society. His reflections are based on deep knowledge of biblical texts and historical events, which makes the book interesting both for specialists in the field of theology and for a wide range of readers who are interested in church-state relations."
