Edward A. David, "A Christian Approach to Corporate Religious Theory" (Palgrave MacMillan, 2020)
How does individual religious liberty apply to religiously affiliated groups?\xa0Edward\xa0A.\xa0David investigates the polarized ways\xa0legal theorists seek to understand group ontology in\xa0A Christian Approach to Corporate\xa0Religious Theory\xa0(Palgrave MacMillan, 2020).\xa0\nDavid surveys the merits and pitfalls of prevailing approaches from within and without the Christian tradition. Many legal theorists are deeply skeptical of corporate group ontology, especially as religious groups have sometimes tended to conflate churches proper with religiously affiliated organizations in ways that can set uncomfortable precedents.\xa0\nThis book offers a novel way forward that suggests a retrieval of Saint Thomas Aquinas's theory of coordinated group activity to provide a more\xa0salient moral framework to evaluate the liberties and limits of religious groups.
