| Summary: | Law and religion have been dealt with by legal scholars, theologians and those working in the social sciences and humanities for years. Traditionally, studies of law and religion in the legal literature have been devoted primarily to consideration of church and state issues raised by claims based on the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. These issues find their way into the law school curriculum in courses on Constitutional law where the perspective taken is distinctly legal. In such courses the focus is on religious freedom and the proper relation of the state to organized religion as a matter of Constitutional law. These concerns have provided the major focus for studies of law and religion.In the past ten years a new interest in the study of law and religion has emerged. Notable evidence of this is the formation and subsequent activities of the Section on Law and Religion of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), the creation of the Council on Religion and Law, the development of a special Task Force on Ethics and Law within the Society of Christian Ethics along with an increase in scholarly writing and the creation of new journals. |
