- Summary:
- What are the correlations between law and religion? This volume has set itself the goal of tracing this relationship in selected times and regions (ancient Orient / antiquity, modern Europe, Islamic world). As a specific thematic point of reference, the editors have chosen the tense relationship that can exist between law as divine statutes and law as human order. The current reason to address this question more closely is the perception of a renewed strength of the religious - both with regard to the religions traditionally anchored in the western states as well as those practiced by minorities, namely Islam. This development calls into question the established relationship between law and religion in the western world as well and forces a change or change. Adaptation of the self-concept of western societies. The latter was previously characterized by the idea that modernization manifests itself above all3.... in a further consolidation of secularity and neutrality as well as an increasing desacralization. In a cross-epoch consideration, which includes the sciences of the ancient Orient, Greco-Roman antiquity, theology, law and Islamic studies, the relationship between law and religion is to be examined more closely and the thesis presented in a larger context.
