Freedom of religion is an issue of universal interest and scope.
However, in the last two centuries at least, the philosophical,
religious and legal terms of the question have been largely defined
in the West. In an increasingly global world, widening our
knowledge of this right's roots in different cultural and legal
systems becomes a priority. This Handbook seeks to attain this goal
through a better understanding of the historical roots and
expressions of the right to freedom of religion on the one hand
and, on the other, of its theological background in different
religious traditions. History and theology provide the setting for
the analysis of the politics of freedom of religion, that is, how
this right is used in the context of the dialogue/confrontation
between countries placed in different cultural regions of the
world, and of the legal strategies and tools that have been
developed and are employed to protect and foster the right to
freedom of religion. Behind these legal and political strategies,
there is an ongoing debate about the nature of this right, whose
main features are explored in the final section. Global, historical
and interdisciplinary in approach, this book studies the new
relevance of freedom of religion worldwide and develops suitable
categories to analyze and understand the role that freedom of
religion can play in managing religious and cultural diversity in
our societies. Authored by experts, through the contributions
collected in these chapters, scholars and students will be able to
broaden and deepen their knowledge of the right to freedom of
religion and to develop the ability to go beyond the borders of the
different cultural environments in which this right took shape and
developed.
This collection, by leading legal scholars, judges and
practitioners, together with theologians and church historians,
presents historical, theological, philosophical and legal
perspectives on Christianity and criminal law. Following a Preface
by Lord Judge, formerly Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales,
and an introductory chapter, the book is divided into four thematic
sections. Part I addresses the historical contributions of
Christianity to criminal law drawing on biblical sources, early
church fathers and canonists, as far as the Enlightenment. Part II,
titled Christianity and the principles of criminal law, compares
crime and sin, examines concepts of mens rea and intention, and
considers the virtue of due process within criminal justice. Part
III looks at Christianity and criminal offences, considering their
Christian origins and continuing relevance for several basic crimes
that every legal system prohibits. Finally, in Part IV, the authors
consider Christianity and the enforcement of criminal law, looking
at defences, punishment and forgiveness. The book will be an
invaluable resource for students and academics working in the areas
of Law and Religion, Legal Philosophy and Theology.

Sam Herman (1936-2020) stands at the very centre of the development
of the international Studio Glass Movement. He was not only present
for the birth of the Movement in the United States, but was its
founding father in Great Britain and Australia. This book is the
first to deal directly with the genesis of the Movement and the
pioneering work of Herman within it, while also shedding light on
his wider practice in sculpture and painting. The son of Polish
immigrants, Mexican by birth, and brought up in the tougher New
York boroughs, Herman travelled to London in the mid-1960s and went
on to head up the Glass Department at the Royal College of Art.
From there he inspired a generation of artists, created
revolutionary techniques and was instrumental in the development of
colour and texture in blown glass. For art historians, collectors
and aficionados of glass, this book provides a welcome and
comprehensive evaluation of Herman's position within the Studio
Glass Movement, the history of glass art, as well as the wider
context of modern British art. While discussion of his sculpture
and painting reveal further dimensions to Herman's ongoing, and
indefatigable, explorations in form, composition and colour.
Contains activities to give your pupils the reinforcement work they
need.
Security is a key topic of our time. But how do we understand it?
Do law and religion take different views of it? In this fifth
volume in the Law and Religion in Africa series, radicalisation,
terrorism, blasphemy, hate speech, religious freedom and just war
theories rub shoulders with issues of witchcraft, female genital
mutilation circumcision, child marriage, displaced communities and
additional issues besides. This unique collection of topics is both
challenging and inspiring, providing illumination in troubled
times, and forming a sound foundation for future scholarship.
