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.
