Witte and Domingo, Preface, in Oxford Handbook on Christianity and Law @EmoryLaw @OUPLaw @RafaelDomingoO1

John Witte, Emory University School of Law, and Rafael Domingo, University of Navarra School of Law, are publishing Preface to Oxford Handbook on Christianity and Law in Oxford Handbook on Christianity and Law (John Witte and Rafael Domingo, eds., Oxford: Oxford University Press) (forthcoming). Here is the abstract.

This is the preface to a major new volume that tells the story of the interactions of Christianity and law -- historically and today, in the traditional heartlands of Christianity and now around the globe. Sixty new chapters by leading scholars show how Christianity helped to shape the core legal topics of public, private, penal, and procedural law and fundamental legal principles like justice, liberty, equality, and dignity. They also take up cutting edge legal issues of religious freedom, canon law, racial justice, environmental care, migration, and euthanasia. This is the first comprehensive global collection on Christianity and law and an indispensable single volume resource for scholars and students of law, religion, history, theology, politics, ethics.
