New Release: Law and the Christian Tradition in Italy: The Legacy of the Great Jurists

The Center for the Study of Law and Religion is excited to announce the release of Law and the Christian Tradition in Italy: The Legacy of Christian Jurists edited by Orazio Condorelli and Rafael Domingo, with a forward by John Witte, Jr. This volume details the story of law and religion in Italy—“the cradle of the European legal culture”—over the span of a millennium as shaped by its civilians, clergymen, and jurists.

This volume is part of a 50-volume series on “Great Christian Jurists,” presenting the interaction of law and Christianity through the biographies of 1000 legal figures of the past two millennia. Law and the Christian Tradition in Italy: The Legacy of Christian Jurists presents 26 chapters and biographical case studies on major Italian scholars from Irnerius and Gratian in the early twelfth century to Pope Paul VI of the Second Vatical Council. Each chapter examines the influence of Christianity on the lives and work of a legal figure and their influence on the Roman church and Roman law, offering many international and methodological perspectives. Included are studies of famous civilians, notable jurists, and other lesser-known scholars worthy of global attention. This book is essential reading for all interested in the historical intersections of law and religion and their contemporary consequences.
