Routledge is publishing a new
edited collection on law and Christianity in Latin America.
ABOUT THE BOOK
This volume examines the lives of
more than thirty-five key personalities in Latin American law with a focus on
how their Christian faith was a factor in molding the evolution of law in their
countries and the region.
The book is a significant
contribution to our ability to understand the work and perspectives of jurists
and their effect on legal development in Latin America. The individuals
selected for study exhibit wide-ranging areas of expertise from private law and
codification, through national public law and constitutional law, to
international developments that left their mark on the region and the world.
The chapters discuss the jurists within their historical, intellectual, and
political context. The editors selected jurists after extensive consultation
with legal historians in various countries of the region looking at the
jurist’s particular merits, contributions to law in general, religious
perspective, and importance within the specific country and period under
consideration. Giving the work a diversity of international and methodological
perspectives, the chapters have been written by distinguished legal scholars
and historians from Latin America and around the world.
The collection will appeal to
scholars, lawyers, and students interested in the interplay between law and
religion. Political, social, legal, and religious historians among other
readers will find, for the first time in English, authoritative treatments of
the region’s essential legal thinkers and authors. Students and other who may
not read Spanish will appreciate these clear, accessible, and engaging English
studies of the region’s great jurists.
