Mohr Siebeck is publishing an
edited collection on “Great Christian Jurists in German History”.
ABOUT THE BOOK
This volume is part of a
50-volume series on »Great Christian Jurists,« presenting the interaction of
law and Christianity through the biographies of 1000 legal figures of the past
two millennia. This volume presents 26 major German legal scholars from Albert
the Great and Eike von Repgow in the Middle Ages to Konrad Adenauer and Stephan
Kuttner in the twentieth century. Each chapter analyzes the influence of
Christianity on their lives and legal work and sketches their enduring
influence on the laws of church and state. Featuring freshly written chapters,
this is the first overview in English of the relationship of Christianity and
German law in the second millennium. Included are studies of both famous and
long forgotten Catholics and Protestants, and both martyrs and collaborators
with Nazism and earlier forms of state autocracy. Authoritative, accessible,
and engaging, this study is a vital scholarly resource and classroom text.
