Recenzje

'Cochran and Calo should be commended for marshalling an impressive roster of authors and chapters. This volume stands on its own and will make a valuable contribution to the literature of the interdisciplinary interaction of Christianity and law. Its chapters must be dealt with by any scholar who seeks to further develop a comprehensive legal theory upon the rock of Christianity.' Jeffrey B. Hammond, Comparative Legal History
