This book qualifies this narrative by exploring the legacy of Christian ambivalence towards Jews in contemporary secular law. By placing disputes over Jewish practices, such as infant male circumcision and the construction of eruvin, within a longer historical context, the book traces how Christian ambivalence towards Jews and Christianity's narrative of supersession became secularised into a cultural repertoire that has shaped central ideas and knowledge underpinning secular law. Christian ambivalence, this book argues, continues to circumscribe not only the rights and equality of Jews but of other non-Christians too. In considering the interaction between law and Christian ambivalence towards Jews, the book engages with broader questions about the cultural foundations of Western secular law, the politics of religious freedom, the racialisation of religion, and the ambivalent nature of legal progress.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Weight: 586gGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Law & Politics, Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Cambridge Studies in Law and SocietyRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
