The late Pope John Paul II frequently invoked Dignitatis Humanae as
one of the foundational documents of contemporary Church social
teaching. In this timely new edited collection, Catholicism and
Religious Freedom: Contemporary Reflections on Vatican II's
Declaration on Religious Liberty, Kenneth L. Grasso and Robert P.
Hunt have assembled an impressive group of scholars to discuss the
current meanings of one the Vatican's most important documents and
its place in the Church. Dignitatis Humanae understands itself as
bringing 'forth new things that are in harmony with the old.'
Today, forty years after its publication, the precise nature of
these 'new things' and their relationship to 'the old' remain among
the most important pieces of unfinished business confronting
Catholic social thought. The theological issues brought forth in
Dignitatis Humanae go to the heart of the contemporary debate about
the nature, foundation, and scope of religious liberty. Here, the
contributors to this volume give these considerations the serious
and sustained attention they deserve.

This book presents a collection of studies by top scholars on
leading cases from twelve different jurisdictions defining the
legal status of unborn human life. The cases under study pertain to
three distinctive cultural and constitutional systems: Latin
American Constitutional Courts and the Inter-American Court of
Human Rights, European Constitutional Courts and the European Court
on Human Rights, as well as Common Law jurisdictions. With a
special conclusion by Professor John Finnis, drawing together the
many treads of the individual chapters into a comprehensive whole,
this book lays the basis for further comparative study of the legal
and moral reasoning underlying judicial decisions which either
recognize or deny legal personhood and/or equal dignity to unborn
human beings. Robert P. George McCormick, Professor of
Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program in American
Ideals and Institutions, Princeton University: "Pilar Zambrano and
William L. Saunders have done a great service by giving us a
thorough compilation of the law of various jurisdictions concerning
the status and rights of the unborn. They have brought together an
impressive group of scholars and obtained from them work of the
highest intellectual caliber." Prof. Carlos Massini-Correas,
University of Mendoza and University of Buenos Aires: "In
undertaking the very unusual task of analyzing both the legal and
the moral horizon of interpretation underlying leading judicial
decisions, this book represents an exceptional shortcut to the bulk
of constitutional and philosophical arguments in favor of the
enhancement of the value of unborn human life to the status of a
right. This mixed perspective of study allows us to avoid the usual
fallacy of both sides of the abortion debate, to overlook either
its moral or its legal framework."
