Berkmann ; translated by David E. OrtonLondon ;New York, New York :Routledge,2021.©20171 online resource (209 pages)ICLARS series on law and religion0-367-43722-8 Includes bibliographical references and index."Comparative law of religions has developed in recent years as a new discipline at the intersection of legal and religious science, of theology and anthropology. This book presents a systematic theoretical basis for this new discipline. While law is mostly associated with the state, many religions also have their own internal law. These internal legal norms are aimed at a particular form of behaviour on the part of believers. They therefore play a particular role in conflicts arising today between certain religious forms of behaviour. The comparison of the internal law of religions serves to establish and explain the commonalities and differences between various religious legal traditions. The religions examined here include: the law of Christian denominations, Jewish law, Islamic law, Hindu law, Buddhist law, and other religious legal systems. The work assesses six current approaches to the comparative law of religions, evaluating their strengths and weaknesses, leading to the development of a new approach. The book discusses the role of religious law in state law and looks to likely future developments"--Provided by publisher.ICLARS series on law and religion.Comparative religious lawComparative religious law.208.4Berkmann Burkhard Josef1642132Orton David E.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808869203321The Internal Law of Religions3986671UNINA
