Machiavelli's God

Machiavelli's God challenges the common perception of Machiavelli as un-Christian or anti-Christian by arguing that his political philosophy was fundamentally rooted in Christian thought.

Maurizio Viroli places Machiavelli within Florence's republican Christian tradition and demonstrates how Machiavelli advocated for a religion of virtue as essential to establishing and maintaining free republics.

The book presents Machiavelli as a prophet of a true religion of liberty focused on moral and political living centered on charity and justice.
