About the Book

This book is an intellectual biography of the Venetian historian and theologian Paolo Sarpi (1552-1623). It analyses Sarpi's natural philosophy, religious ideas and political thought. Kainulainen argues that Sarpi was influenced by Neostoicism, Neoepicureanism and the sixteenth-century scientific revolution; that Sarpi was a fideist and Christian mortalist who, while critical of the contemporary Church of Rome, admired the purity of the early church. Focusing on Sarpi’s separation between church and state, his use of absolutism, divine right of kings and reason of state, the book offers a fresh perspective on medieval and reformation traditions. It will be of interest to those interested in early-modern intellectual history and the interplay between science, religion and politics in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century political discourse.

Review :
“this is a thought-provoking book, and Kainulainen should be praised for advancing the discussion about Fra Paolo in new directions. Anyone writing on Sarpi in the future will need to take this book into consideration.” Charles Keenan, Northwestern University. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 66, No. 4 (2015), pp. 885-887. “There is much to commend in Paolo Sarpi: A Servant of God and State. It can and should spur further research on Sarpi’s thought no less than on his influence and legacy, and it offers yet another indication that the world of early modern Catholicism was as pervasively diverse as the worlds of early modern Protestantism. … Kainulainen should be congratulated for inspiring such interest in his subject.” Benjamin Guyer, The University of Kansas. In: Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. 46, No. 1 (2015), pp. 150-151.
