Comparative Religious Law provides for the first time a study of
the regulatory instruments of Jewish, Christian and Muslim
religious organisations in Britain in light of their historical
religious laws. Norman Doe questions assumptions about the
pervasiveness, character and scope of religious laws, from the view
that they are not or should not be recognised by civil law, to the
idea that there may be a fundamental incompatibility between
religious and civil law. It proposes that religious laws pervade
society, are recognised by civil law, have both a religious and
temporal character, and regulate wide areas of believers' lives.
Subjects include sources of law, faith leaders, governance, worship
and education, rites of passage, divorce and children, and
religion-State relations. A Charter of 'the principles of religious
law' common to all three Abrahamic faiths is proposed, to stimulate
greater mutual understanding between religion and society and
between the three faiths themselves.
