Download or read book Religion, Law and Tradition written by Andrew Huxley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together two scholarly traditions: experts in Roman, Jewish and Islamic law, an area where scholars tend to be familiar with work in each area, and experts in the legal traditions of South and East Asia, which have tended to be less interdisciplinary. The resulting mix produces new ways of looking at comparative law and legal history from a global perspective, and these essays contribute both to our understanding of comparative religion as well as comparative law.
