Book Synopsis Current Issues in Law and Religion by : Keith Thompson
Download or read book Current Issues in Law and Religion written by Keith Thompson and published by . This book was released on 2021-03 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the 1948 UN Declaration that freedom of thought, conscience and belief is a universal human right, contemporary political elites have resurrected the old Marxist idea that religion is a crutch for the weak. Contemporary political correctness would outlaw religious free speech whenever it offends. This collection of five research essays by Honour students, staff and friends of the University of Notre Dame's Sydney School of Law: - interrogates the philosophical idea of harm that underlies such offence, - tests whether religious free speech is entitled to the same protection as other speech, - notes the consequences of proscribing the free exercise of religion in totalitarian regimes, - identifies some of the ways in which new gender rights conflict with established freedoms, and - wonders why Singapore, the United States and Australia have all failed to implement the freedom of religion intended of religion in the 1948 UDHR and the 1966 ICCPR. The insights here are not all comfortable, but they confirm that human rights ideas do have consequences.

Book Synopsis Current Conflicts in Law and Religion by : Vaughn E. James
Download or read book Current Conflicts in Law and Religion written by Vaughn E. James and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The core of Current Conflicts in Law and Religion takes the reader through eleven hot-topic issues in law and religion in twenty-first century society: ?The role of religious voices in the political debate; ?Religious voices in the abortion rights debate; ?The legalization of same-sex marriage in the United States; ?The ordination of LGBT clergy; ?Prayer and religious exercises in the public schools; ?The place of the phrase "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance; ?Evolution versus Creationism; ?The place of Intelligent Design in the public school curriculum; ?The patient's right to refuse medical treatment based on religious belief; ?The Affordable Care Act, RFRA and the Free Exercise Clause; and ?International issues in law and religion. One could well view that last hot-topic as containing several hot-topics. But, even with counting it as one hot-topic, Professor James has presented in this one book a review of at least eleven hot-topics in law and religion in contemporary society. Yet, the cases the book covers span a vast expanse of time. They are as old as Reynolds v. United States (1879), and as new as Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. (2014). Two things set this book apart from others that discuss these two clauses of the Constitution. First, the book devotes a lengthy first chapter to discussing the basic tenets of some world religions. Some of these religions are well-known and often talked about; their tenets are well-known, even to non-adherents. Others are not-so-well-known, are even obscure; their tenets are hardly known or talked about. Second, the book begins each chapter with a true story (with names and places changed or otherwise disguised) that depicts one or more of the current conflicts in law and religion. Those who pick it up should prepare to embark upon a journey through world religions, and a journey through the conflicts mankind has created out of something that should unite and foster love. Professor Vaughn E. James is the Robert H. Bean Professor and Director of the LL.M. Program in United States Legal Studies at Texas Tech University School of Law in Lubbock, Texas. An ordained Minister of Religion, Professor James is a graduate of both the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary and Newburgh Theological Seminary. A graduate of Syracuse University College of Law, he is licensed to practice in New York and Texas, in the federal Northern District of Texas, and before the United States Tax Court. He is also an IRS Registered Tax Return Preparer.

Book Synopsis The Internal Law of Religions by : Burkhard Josef Berkmann
Download or read book The Internal Law of Religions written by Burkhard Josef Berkmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative law of religions has developed in recent years as a new discipline at the intersection of legal and religious science, of theology and anthropology. This book presents a systematic theoretical basis for this new discipline. While law is mostly associated with the state, many religions also have their own internal law. These internal legal norms are aimed at a particular form of behaviour on the part of believers. They therefore play a particular role in conflicts arising today between certain religious forms of behaviour. The comparison of the internal law of religions serves to establish and explain the commonalities and differences between various religious legal traditions. The religions examined here include: the law of Christian denominations, Jewish law, Islamic law, Hindu law, Buddhist law, and other religious legal systems. The work assesses six current approaches to the comparative law of religions, evaluating their strengths and weaknesses, leading to the development of a new approach. The book discusses the role of religious law in state law and looks to likely future developments. The work will be essential for those interested in the administration of justice and politics, for those professions where intercultural competence is required, and for interreligious dialogue.

They examine such current issues as the legal recognition of sharia arbitration, the re-definition of civil marriage, and the accommodation of religious practice in the public sphere.
Book Synopsis Tax Law, Religion, and Justice by : Allen Calhoun
Download or read book Tax Law, Religion, and Justice written by Allen Calhoun and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-03-08 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book asks why tax policy is both attracted to and repelled by the idea of justice. Accepting the invitation of economist Henry Simons to acknowledge that tax justice is a theological concept, the work explores theological doctrines of taxation to answer the presenting question. The overall message of the book is that taxation is an instrument of justice, but only when taxes take into account multiple goods in society: the requirements of the government, the property rights of society’s members, and the material needs of the poor. It is argued that this answer to the presenting question is a theological and ethical answer in that it derives from the insistence of Christian thinkers that tax policy take into account material human need (necessitas). Without the necessitas component of the tax balance, tax systems end up honoring only one of the three components of the tax equation and cease to reflect a coherent idea of justice. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of tax law, economics, theology, and history.
