Abstract
"The question of the proper relationship between the church and the civil magistracy in the Christian community was one of the significant issues brought to the fore by the Protestant Reformation. The problem was a legacy of the challenge to papal supremacy by several late medieval theorists, the most notable of whom, Marsilius of Padua, gave complete sovereignty in the Christian community to the civil authority. A second and related late medieval development was the tendency in the imperial cities to view the Christian city in corporate terms, thus identifying the church with the civil community, and giving complete control of the Christian city to the civil magistrates.' This trend toward magisterial supremacy was intensified as a result of the Reformation"
