Christianity and International Law cover

This volume offers a many-sided introduction to the theme of Christianity and international law. Using a historical and contemporary perspective, it will appeal to readers interested in key topics of international law and how they intersect with Christianity.This cross-disciplinary collaboration offers historical and contemporary scholarship exploring the interface of Christianity and international law. Christianity and International Law aims to understand and move past arguments, narratives and tropes that commonly frame law-religion studies in global governance. Readers are introduced to a range of confessional and critical perspectives explicitly engaging a diverse range of methodological and theoretical orientations to rethink how we experience and find ourselves caught within the phenomena of Christianity and international law.

'These chapters in combination make a powerful reflection on Christianity and International Law: it is no introduction, it is the thing itself.' Malcolm D. Evans, Oxford Journal of Law and Religion
'The essay provides important and chastening historical background for all Christians considering how religion should contribute to current political questions related to America's role on the international stage.' Elisabeth Rain Kincaid, The Living Church
'… the editors and authors are to be commended for the rich and diverse chapters on offer in this book.' Roger P. Alford, Journal of Church and State
