Ecclesiastical Law has established itself as the leading authority on the laws of the Church of England. Offering a uniquely detailed and scholarly exposition of the law, it has become an essential reference for anyone with a professional interest in ecclesiastical and canon law. The third edition has been fully revised and updated to take account of considerable changes in the substantive law, specifically: the establishment of a completely new statutory tribunal for clergy discipline; a major review of the employment status of clergy; a series of cases in the House of Lords exploring the limits of the right of religious liberty under the Human Rights Act 1998; litigation and legislation concerning whether the Church of England is a 'public authority'; and a growing number of common law decisions in consistory courts and the Court of Arches. Ecclesiastical Law offers insightful commentary, thoughtful analysis, and a wealth of materials to the lawyer and student alike. Appendices include: The Canons of the Church of England; Statutes and Measures; Statutory Instruments; Church Representation Rules; and cases.

This collection, by leading legal scholars, judges and practitioners, together with theologians and church historians, presents historical, theological, philosophical and legal perspectives on Christianity and criminal law.&#12288; Following a Preface by Lord Judge, formerly Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, and an introductory chapter, the book is divided into four thematic sections. Part I addresses the historical contributions of Christianity to criminal law drawing on biblical sources, early church fathers and canonists, as far as the Enlightenment. Part II, titled Christianity and the principles of criminal law, compares crime and sin, examines concepts of mens rea and intention, and considers the virtue of due process within criminal justice. Part III looks at Christianity and criminal offences, considering their Christian origins and continuing relevance for several basic crimes that every legal system prohibits. Finally, in Part IV, the authors consider Christianity and the enforcement of criminal law, looking at defences, punishment and forgiveness. The book will be an invaluable resource for students and academics working in the areas of Law and Religion, Legal Philosophy and Theology.

Down Island: A Novel of the Caribbean

The boat moved a little. Was it simply the current? He grabbed a handhold inside the cabin while shifting his weight back and forth. It might be wishful thinking, but maybe he'd help rock the yacht loose from any sea bottom suction. Nate noticed what he was doing then joined in.Doug heard a scraping sound from the grounded side of the hull. The bow rose and the forward cabin's bags puffed and grew noticeably. Then the stern came up, inflating the bags more and more with the decreasing depth. The boat was rising!There was an abrupt jolt as if Payback had been grabbed from behind by a giant hand and yanked backwards. The bow continued to rise until the vessel was pointed nearly vertical, straining to reach the shimmering surface of the sea. Furniture and equipment broke loose and violently slid to the stern. The crew grabbed for something to hold onto while sliding objects tore past or fell on them. The two brothers each reached to snag hatch handles above. Then, in spite of sounds being muffled by the water, Doug heard a high-pitched scream.
