The International Center for Law and Religion Studies has announced the release of the casebook Law and Religion: National, International, and Comparative Perspectives, co-authored by ICLRS Director W. Cole Durham, Jr. and Associate Director Brett G. Scharffs and published by Aspen Publishers / Wolters Kluwer Law & Business. Developed for use in English-speaking law-school courses, the work is a dynamic combination of international and domestic materials, designed to stimulate discussion of familiar and sensitive issues of conflict and debate in a global context. “Timely and incisive,” the publishers note, it “makes a valuable contribution to the study of Law and Religion, Church and State, International Human Rights, Comparative Constitutional Law, and First Amendment Law.”
