Reviews / Votes
'"This is a splendid collection of essays. Although the subject has been well worked over in recent years, the contributors have many new and interesting things to say. The opening essay by Prince El Hassan bin Talal, on Islamic understandings of the relationship of religion and government, is fascinating and extremely timely. This is a bold and original collection." Robert George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Princeton UniversityMore details
