Next month, Cambridge University Press will
publish a book on great Christian jurists in Spanish history. The book can be
pre-ordered here.
ABOUT
The Great Christian Jurists series comprises
a library of national volumes of detailed biographies of leading jurists,
judges and practitioners, assessing the impact of their Christian faith on the
professional output of the individuals studied. Spanish legal culture,
developed during the Spanish Golden Age, has had a significant influence on the
legal norms and institutions that emerged in Europe and in Latin America. This
volume examines the lives of twenty key personalities in Spanish legal history,
in particular how their Christian faith was a factor in molding the evolution
of law. Each chapter discusses a jurist within his or her intellectual and
political context. All chapters have been written by distinguished legal
scholars from Spain and around the world. This diversity of international and
methodological perspectives gives the volume its unique character; it will
appeal to scholars, lawyers, and students interested in the interplay between
religion and law.
