Seligman. 520 8 Much has been written on specific religious legal systems, yet substantial comparative studies that strive to compare systems, identifying their analogies and differences, have been relatively few. This absence undermines the capacity to understand religions and becomes particularly serious when the faithful of these religions live together in the same geographical space, as happens today with increasing frequency. Both interreligious dialogue and dialogue between States and religions presuppose a set of data and information that only comparative research can provide. This book seeks to address this gap in the literature by presenting a comparative analysis of Christian, Jewish, Islamic and Hindu laws and traditions. Divided into five parts, the first part of the book offers the historical background for the legal analysis that is developed in the subsequent parts. Part II deals with the sources of law in the four religions under discussion. Part III addresses the dynamics of belonging and status, and Part IV looks at issues relating to the conclusion of marriage and its dissolution. The fifth and final part discusses how each religion views the legal other. Each part concludes with exploring what we can learn from a comparative examination of the topic that is dealt with in that part. Written by leading experts in the field, this book presents a clear and comprehensive picture of key religious legal systems along with a substantial bibliography. It provides a state of the art overview of scholarship in this area accompanied by a critical evaluation. 650 0 Religious law and legislation. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85112661 650 0 Religion and law. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85112572 650 0 Comparative law. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85029299 650 0 Church and state. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85025534 700 1 Bottoni, Rossella, |eeditor. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2009138161 700 1 Ferrari, Silvio, |eeditor. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80028291 830 0 Routledge handbooks 902 dws |bm |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20200212 904 pad |bo |hm |cb |e20191217 914 (OCoLC)on1057239174 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240508 |eprocessed |f1057239174 919 (OCoLC)on1008874571 919 (OCoLC)on1008874571
