What impact has Christianity had on law and policies in the
Lowlands from the eleventh century through the end of the twentieth
century? Taking the gradual 'secularization' of European legal
culture as a framework, this volume explores the lives and times of
twenty legal scholars and professionals to study the historical
impact of the Christian faith on legal and political life in the
Low Countries. The process whereby Christian belief systems
gradually lost their impact on the regulation of secular affairs
passed through several stages, not in the least the Protestant
Reformation, which led to the separation of the Low Countries in a
Protestant North and a Catholic South in the first place. The
contributions take up general issues such as the relationship
between justice and mercy, Christianity and politics as well as
more technical topics of state-church law, criminal law and social
policy.
This book explores the tensions between the religious and legal
principles of Islamic finance and Islamic banking in practice. It
does not limit itself to a legal discussion and presents a truly
interdisciplinary and intercultural dialogue between lawyers,
theologians, and economists with roots in academia and practice.
There is considerable divergence in their evaluation of the status
quo and future of Islamic finance.Contributions cover aspects of
Islamic finance in theory and practice. It provides insights into
the interplay of religion, ethics and finance covering both the
Islamic and Christian traditions that sets the scene for Islamic
finance in practice: economic technicalities of Islamic banking
services, its regulatory aspects, and the complex legal
arrangements of Islamic finance in non-Muslim-majority countries.
Islamic Finance is a truly international collaboration of
outstanding scholars and practitioners in their field that reveals
the complexities involved in applying religious principles and
legal theory to the daily practice of business and finance.
