Preface and Acknowledgements to Rafael Domingo and John Witte, Jr., eds. Christianity and Global Law

A brief preface to this volume of Christianity and Global Law, one of several new introductions to Christianity and law commissioned by the Center for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University. Each volume is an anthology of some two dozen chapters written by leading scholars. Each volume has historical, doctrinal, and comparative materials designed to uncover Christian sources and dimensions of familiar legal topics. Each volume is authoritative but accessible, calibrated to reach students, scholars, and instructors in law, divinity, graduate, and advanced college courses as well as educated readers from various fields interested in what Christianity has, can, and perhaps should offer to the world of law
