Foundations of a Sociology of Canon Law

Viac o knihe

Exploring the intersection of sociology and canon law, this book delves into the legal structure of the Catholic Church while introducing a new subdiscipline. It examines how theology and canon law can benefit from sociological insights, investigates the concept of "law" in religious contexts, and analyzes the conditions for legal validity. By focusing on a religious order's quest for balance amid modern challenges, it contributes to discussions on the relevance of religious law in secular and pluralistic societies.
