Law and religion in theoretical and historical context

About this book

"This volume of essays examines the nature and scope of engagements between law and religion, addressing fundamental questions such as these. Contributors range from eminent scholars working in the fields of law and religion to important new voices who add vital and original ideas. From conservative to liberal, doctrinal to post-modernist, and secular to religious, each contributor brings a different approach to the questions under discussion, resulting in a lively, passionate, and thoughtful debate that adds light rather than heat to this complex area."--BOOK JACKET.
