Taylor & Francis Ltd Medieval Canon Law
Book SynopsisIt is impossible to understand how the medieval church functioned and, in turn, influenced the lay world within its care without understanding canon law. This book examines its development from its beginnings to the end of the Middle Ages, updating its findings in light of recent scholarly trends.This second edition has been fully revised and updated by Melodie H. Eichbauer to include additional material on the early Middle Ages; the significance of the discovery of earlier versions of Gratian's Decretum; and the new research into law emanating from secular authorities, councils, episcopal acta, and juridical commentary to rethink our understanding of the sources of law and canon law''s place in medieval society. Separate chapters examine canon law in intellectual spaces; the canonical courts and their procedures; and, using the case studies of deviation from orthodoxy and marriage, canon law in the lives of people. The main body of the book concludes with the influeTable of Contents1. Law in the Early Christian Church 2. Canon Law in the Early Middle Ages 3. Canon Law amid Eleventh-Century Reform Efforts 4.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Schleiermachers Staatslehre
Book SynopsisSchleiermacher hielt zwischen 1813 und 1833 fünf Vorlesungen zur Staatslehre an der neugegründeten Universität Berlin, in denen er die Preußischen Reformen unterstützte. Im Unterschied zu Hegels Rechtsphilosophie entfaltete Schleiermachers politisches Denken aber kaum Wirkung. Erst seit 1998 liegt eine kritische Edition der entsprechenden Manuskripte und Nachschriften vor. Miriam Rose liefert erstmals eine umfassende systematische Erschließung der Staatslehre Schleiermachers bezogen auf die Staatsdiskurse nach der Französischen Revolution. In thematischen Längsschnitten, u.a. zu den Problemen Krieg und Frieden sowie Staat und Kirche, zeigt sich die liberale Orientierung Schleiermachers. Die spezifische Eigenart dieser Konzeption profiliert die Autorin anhand der Frage nach der Freiheit des Einzelnen. Sie stellt heraus, dass es sich trotz der liberalen Orientierung um keinen liberalen Entwurf handelt.

University Press of Southern Denmark Internationalization and Re-Confessionalization:
Book SynopsisThis volume explores the interaction between law and religion in the Nordic region and Germany in the post-World War II period. It examines how religion has been conceptualized and managed within secular law and pays particular attention to the growing influence of international law on the regulation of majority and minorty religion. The volume investigates different ways of understanding the secularity of law, and it analyzes the relationship between conceptions of secularity within law and theology in the region. Finally, it also discusses renegotiations of theological positions with regard to the law of the land and tendencies towards re-confessionalization of law governing religion.

Cambridge University Press The Church and the Law Volume 56
Book SynopsisThis volume explores the legal issues and legal consequences underlying relations between secular and religious authorities in the context of the Christian Church, from its earliest emergence within Roman Palestine as a persecuted minority sect through the period when it became legally recognized within the Roman empire, its many institutional manifestations in the East and West throughout the Middle Ages, the reconfigurations associated with the Reformation and Catholic/Counter-Reformations, the legal and constitutional complications, and the variable consequences of so-called secularization thereafter. The engagement of secular and religious authorities with the law and the question of what the law actually comprised (Roman law, canon law, national laws, state and royal edicts) are addressed. Bringing together the work of a wide range of scholars, this volume deepens our understanding of interactions between the churches and the legal systems in which they existed in the past and continue to exist now.Table of ContentsPreface; List of contributors; List of abbreviations; List of illustrations; Introduction Rosamond McKitterick; 1.
