The first comprehensive study of Italian Christian Democracy in English, Italy's Christian Democracy unravels the encounter between Catholicism and democracy from pre-unification Italy in the eighteenth century to the near-present. Forlenza and Thomassen put the triumphant emergence of the Christian Democratic political party that ruled Italy from 1948 to 1994 into historical perspective. With a focus on critical moments of modern Italian history – the Enlightenment and French Revolution, the Risorgimento, World War I, the fascist period, World War II, the post-war Republic – Italy's Christian Democracy demonstrates the often-dramatic ways in which Catholic thinkers, from laymen to priests and bishops, sought to interpret and direct democratic thought and practice in line with Catholic ethics. The Christian Democracy was much more than reactionary politics – namely a sincere attempt to integrate a religious worldview into modern politics. Contrary to a purely secular reading, the authors demonstrate that the Catholic embrace of political modernity and democracy emerged as a historically significant alternative to both fascism and socialism, liberalism and conservativism, attempting to re-anchor democracy, justice, and freedom in a religiously argued ethos.

Italy's Christian Democracy contributes to existing scholarship by stressing two interrelated aspects crucial for a better understanding of the role that Catholicism and Christian Democracy have played in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: the political dimension of transcendence and spirituality and the transformative power of historical experiences and events. The narrative considers the religious and spiritual impulse behind Christian democratic thought, framing Christian Democracy as a distinct form of "political spirituality".

Offering a novel historical narrative, Italy's Christian Democracy stresses the contemporary relevance of the nexus between Christianity and modern politics: the current spread of identity politics and the increasing use of religion in political and public discourse, recently appropriated by new populist parties and movements, in Italy and beyond.

英文| 288页|牛津大学出版社（2024年9月24日）| 0198859864 | PDF | 11 Mb 《意大利基督教民主》是第一部用英语对意大利基督教民主进行全面研究的著作，它揭示了从十八世纪统一前的意大利到近代天主教与民主之间的相遇。弗兰扎和托马森从历史的角度看待1948年至1994年统治意大利的基督教民主党的胜利崛起。关注现代意大利历史的关键时刻——启蒙运动和法国大革命、复兴运动、第一次世界大战、法西斯时期、第二次世界大战和战后共和国——意大利的基督教民主展示了天主教思想家，从外行人到牧师和主教，试图按照天主教伦理解释和指导民主思想和实践的戏剧性方式。基督教民主远不止是反动政治，而是将宗教世界观融入现代政治的真诚尝试。与纯粹的世俗解读相反，作者证明，天主教对政治现代性和民主的拥护是法西斯主义和社会主义、自由主义和保守主义的历史重要替代品，试图在宗教争论的精神中重新锚定民主、正义和自由。 意大利的基督教民主通过强调两个相互关联的方面为现有的学术做出了贡献，这两个方面对于更好地理解天主教和基督教民主在十九世纪和二十世纪所发挥的作用至关重要：超越和灵性的政治维度以及历史经验和事件的变革力量。叙述考虑了基督教民主思想背后的宗教和精神冲动，将基督教民主视为一种独特的“政治精神”形式。 《意大利基督教民主》提供了一个新颖的历史叙事，强调了基督教与现代政治之间关系的当代相关性：身份政治的当前传播以及宗教在政治和公共话语中的日益使用，最近被意大利及其他地区的新民粹主义政党和运动所采用。
