Law and Religion in Times of Crisis, Challenges and Change

The relationship between law and religion has always been marked by tensions. This edited volume brings together contributions from the conference Law and Religion in Times of Crisis, Challenges and Change (Fordham University London). The authors examine how legal and religious systems respond to crises, shape change, and provide guidance. Drawing on historical perspectives, comparative constitutional studies, and ethical reflections, the volume offers important insights for both academia and practice. Editor Stephan Hecht, Dr. phil., Dr. theol., Lic. iur. can., teaches at Fordham University (London). His research interests include the historical study of legal and religious philosophy as well as theological approaches to legal ethics.
