Sommario/riassunto |
|
This volume puts forth an unprecedented, distinctive Lutheran take on the intersection of law and religion in our society today. It gathers the collaborative reflections of legal and theological scholars on a range of subjects--women's issues, property law and the environment, immigration reform, human trafficking, church-state questions, and more--all addressed from uniquely Lutheran points of view. |
