For centuries the University of Bologna has been at the heart of the study of canon law. In 2014, Cambridge University Press established Cambridge Studies in Law and Christianity, with Professor John Witte Jr as Series Editor. Its purpose is to publish cutting-edge work in Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox Christian contributions to public, private, penal and procedural law and legal theory. The Great Christian Jurists series is a part of this ambitious project, the first volume, brought together legal titans in English Legal History, the second dealt with Spain. Others compilations on Nordic, American, Welsh, and German Christian jurists are already in preparation.
EuARe, in collaboration with CUP, have brought together Professor Mark Hill QC and Professor Javier Martinez-Torron, editors of these respective volumes to explain the project, to defend their selections and to explain the value of these biographical portraits to legal historians, students of canon law, comparative law and jurisprudence more broadly as it impacts on religion. The editors will be questioned by Professors Ana Maria Celis, Vincenzo Pacillo and Andrea Pin and audience members will be invited to participate. Leaflets of the Cambridge Studies in Law and Christianity Series will be available.
