"Gedanken von den Bischoflichen rechten der Landesobrigkeit" (Thoughts on the Episcopal Rights of the Territorial Sovereignty) by Johann Ernst Schubert, published in 1763, explores the complex relationship between secular authority and ecclesiastical power in 18th-century Germany. Schubert delves into the rights and responsibilities of territorial rulers concerning religious administration, examining the legal and theological justifications for state involvement in church affairs. This work offers valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of church-state relations during a period of significant political and religious transformation in the Holy Roman Empire. It remains a crucial resource for understanding the historical development of German ecclesiastical law and the evolving concept of state sovereignty.
