- Consisting of 457 pages and some 220,000 words, the book studies the regulatory instruments of over 100 Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious organisations in Britain - synagogues, churches, mosques, etc. These primary sources had never before been collected or analysed. The book treats a wide range of multi-layered religious activities – from governance through faith leaders to ritual and property. Its questioning of secular assumptions about the pervasiveness, status and scope of religious law, and its recognition of the value of comparative religious law for interfaith and social cohesion, took 5 years of data collection, investigation, and thought.
