Summary:

This volume tells the story of the interaction between Christianity & law - historically & today, in the traditional heartlands of Christianity & around the globe. 60 new chapters by leading scholars provide authoritative & accessible accounts of foundational Christian teachings on law & legal thought over the past two millennia; the current interaction & contestation of law & Christianity on all continents; how Christianity shaped & shaped by core public, private, penal, & procedural laws; various old & new forms of Christian canon law, natural law theory, & religious freedom norms; Christian teachings on fundamental principles of law & legal order; & Christian contributions to controversial legal issues. Together, the chapters make clear that Christianity & law have had a perennial & permanent influence on each other over time & across cultures, albeit with varying levels of intensity & effectiveness.
