Scope/Description:

Recent years have witnessed a resurgence of religion in public life and a concomitant array of legal responses. This has led in turn to the proliferation of research and writing on the interaction of law and religion cutting across many disciplines. The Oxford Journal of Law and Religion OJLR will have a range of articles drawn from various sectors of the law and religion field including social legal and political issues involving the relationship between law and religion in society comparative law perspectives on the relationship between religion and state institutions developments regarding human and constitutional rights to freedom of religion or belief considerations of the relationship between religious and secular legal systems and other salient areas where law and religion interact e.g. theology legal and political theory legal history philosophy etc..The OJLR reflects the widening scope of study concerning law and religion not only by publishing leading pieces of legal scholarship but also by complementing them with the work of historians theologians and social scientists that is germane to a better understanding of the issues of central concern. We aim to redefine the interdependence of law humanities and social sciences within the widening parameters of the study of law and religion whilst seeking to make the distinctive area of law and religion more comprehensible from both a legal and a religious perspective. We plan to capture systematically and consistently the complex dynamics of law and religion from different legal as well as religious research perspectives worldwide. The OJLR seeks leading contributions from various subdomains in the field and plans to become a worldleading journal that will help shape build and strengthen the field as a whole.
