Problem
What were the challenges to a Christian theory of tyrannicide (consider especially the views of the early Christians toward state authority, as discussed in the lectures, as well as the later views of Thomas Aquinas, as seen in the Aquinas section in Voices of Terror)? How did John of Salisbury, Duplessis-Mornay ("Junius Brutus"), and Juan de Mariana attempt to overcome these challenges? In your opinion, how successful were they?
