Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"[An} interesting collection, worthy of attention by scholars in a variety of fields." -- CHOICE "Law and the Sacred brings together original and stimulating interdisciplinary work on the complex interdependence of law and religion. Indeed, the authors expand well beyond simple categories of law and religion to explore the more interesting and novel nuances of laws of the sacred and the sacrilization of law." -- David Mednicoff "The essays in this volume push well beyond the boundaries of more familiar research on the relationship between politics and religion. Exploring topics as diverse as Islamic legal theory, the 2000 U.S. presidential election, Kafka's The Trial, and the contemporary constitution of sovereign politicalpower, the contributors call into question any easy opposition between the sacred and the secular, and so unsettle a central myth of Enlightenment modernism." -- Timothy V. Kaufman-Osborn

Reseña del editor:

Law and the Sacred explores questions about the foundational role of the sacred in the constitution of law, both historically and theoretically.
