Internationale Tagung „God, Taxes, and Societies: Exploring Intersections of Religion and Taxation in History”

Disputes over taxes take us to the heart of a society's structures and conflicts: How much equality and redistribution is necessary or possible? All major religions have spoken out on the legitimacy of tax systems. In this interdisciplinary conference, experts from the fields of theology, history, law and political science will discuss theological and religious positions on tax payments in the past and present in order to better understand the underlying social utopias in different religions.
