Reviews
'Robin Griffith-Jones and Mark Hill QC have assembled a magisterial line-up of thinkers to tease out critical issues around law and religion. Magna Carta, Religion and the Rule of Law is an important book bringing substantial intellectual resources to bear on a key subject for our time; it deserves thoughtful, questioning reading.' Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury
'This book brings together notable thinkers from a range of disciplines, focusing their thoughts on a topic that is of the moment in many ways ... it represents great value ... a useful introduction to areas as diverse as thirteenth-century English church history, Islamic concepts of justice, and the tracing of Judao-Christian thought through our social discourse and legal systems.'
