The Legal Legacy of the Reformation

Catholic and Protestant Approaches to Law
Herausgeber: Duddington, John

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that Christianity has something of value to say about various issues of direct relevance to contemporary society, such as the place of human rights and individual claims of conscience. It shows that, in many cases, Catholic and Protestant thinking on areas such as natural law is not as divergent as it is often thought.
