Religion, Law and Tradition
Comparative Studies in Religious Law
By Andrew Huxley
Published December 2nd 2011 by Routledge – 208 pages
Description
This book brings together two scholarly traditions: experts in Roman, Jewish and Islamic law, an area where scholars tend to be familiar with work in each area, and experts in the legal traditions of South and East Asia, which have tended to be less interdisciplinary. The resulting mix produces new ways of looking at comparative law and legal history from a global perspective, and these essays contribute both to our understanding of comparative religion as well as comparative law.
