Aims

At the end, the student shall be able to establish a comparison between religious legislations as a tool towards a better understanding of the variety of religious traditions and as a contribution to inter-religious dialogue.

Main themes

In order to achieve this aim, the course will
- first compare the ways different religious traditions (Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Islamic) relate to law
- compare two selected institutions (e.g. the condition of justice, the distinction between cleric and non-cleric, apostasy, marriage, the relation to civil law, the relation to norms belonging to other religious traditions).
