Reviews

'Addressing Justice Scalia's textual argument from an interdisciplinary perspective this book shows the interrelationship of law, religion and philosophy. While each contributor is a recognized expert in a particular discipline the book's strength is in the integration of their respective disciplines. This book shows the extraordinary contribution an interdisciplinary approach makes to a deeper understanding of the human condition.' Amos N. Guiora, SJ Quinney College of Law, The University of Utah, USA 'This perceptive and provocative volume reminds us how much religion and the law have in common. Both rest on authority, both require interpretation, and both have been reduced in many instances to definitive texts, available to any literate person. No one should think about the law without contemplating the issues discussed in this book.' Mortimer Sellers, Regents' Professor of the University System of Maryland, USA '... Holy Writ: Interpretation in Law and Religion is a book well worth reading. There is something in it for everyone interested in legal and/or religious interpretation. ... It is rich and diverse in thought and perspective, and different parts will shine for different readers. All readers, however, will learn something from each of the essays. This book delivers in a way that one hopes such collections will always deliver. What more can one ask from a collection of essays?' International Journal for the Semiotics of Law
