Summary: | John Witte and Frank Alexander, the current and founding directors of the Centre for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University, bring together a blue-ribbon team of scholars to provide a wide-ranging interdisciplinary overview of the complex interactions of religion and law in Western culture. This state-of-the-art survey offers an interesting array of political, philosophical, and theological perspectives on a number of key topics in contemporary jurisprudence., The opening essays explore the religious foundations of Western law. Witte introduces the volume with a sparkling historical panorama of four major shifts in the evolving dialectic of Christianity and law. |
